Building the 'A' Team

There is no such thing as a solo entrepreneur. Nobody who’s ever scaled business from the ground up did it alone. In fact, left to themselves, they wouldn’t have a business.

Businessman and investor Warren Buffett spent years trying to convince his longtime friend, Charlie Munger, to be his business partner. He knew Charlie was the man, and he did everything to get him on board.

A powerful and successful company operates best and with the most longevity when employees work with a team mentality, each filling a needed role and fulfilling long-term goals.

Building a successful team is about more than finding a group of people with the right mix of professional skills.

Too often, teams are formed merely by gathering some people together and then hoping that those people somehow find a way to work together. Teams are most effective when carefully designed.
