It's cliché to say that you can see further when standing on the shoulders of giants. But it's also a mentality that has served some of the most successful entrepreneurs. No matter how brilliant the individual, great leaders know that building a world-class team can take a company from being a good idea to becoming a household name. And wise employees know that if they can find a leader who understands the value of a team, then the opportunity and upside can be unlimited. In this episode, you'll learn how four different founders approach building teams, the value of good partners, and how the best founders are obsessed with helping their employees reach their full potential.
