Share your vision
The glue that bonds a team in good mes and tough is their belief in what are doing and shared business values. me teasing out what is important to the he business stands for and how to make visible internally and externally.
Listen, learn and lead Working
in a small team can
be incredibly empowering, responsibility can be shared and people can really grow and develop when given the chance. Seeing others come with you is one of the most rewarding experiences of growing a business. They will follow you, especially if you show thoughtful leadership, considered direction and good decisions. You might not always get it right but listening, learning, and leading is likely to engage and inspire.
Be practical set boundaries From the start create employment contracts
and a series of small but clear policies that guide routine matters like holidays, absence from work, overtime entitlement, expenses and working away from home. This makes managing expectations much clearer and less open to mis-interpretation. People know what is expected and are more likely to work within the boundaries and thus avoid unnecessary conflict.
