Entrepreneur Keitumetse Lekaba Highlights What Entrepreneurs Should Look For When Building A Team. In an interview with SABC News South African entrepreneur Keitumetse Lekaba highlighted what entrepreneurs should look for when they are building a team for their startup. Having a good team is essential to the success of a business, this is why entrepreneurs should do all due diligence before adding a person to their team.
Lekaba said, “I think the biggest thing about building teams is getting the right people to build with you, because you also have to get people that are really vested in the dream and growing the business with you as an entrepreneur. Secondly you really want to put your team forward for success, on the one leg its about getting the right people but on the other leg its about having the right resources to enable the team you are building to really succeed in growing your business.”
Lekaba highlights very vital points in that entrepreneurs need to make sure that the team they are building is on the same page as the company’s vision and mission. This way the team members will understand the morals, values and work ethics of the company and will seamlessly integrate and begin producing quality work. Entrepreneurs also need to know when their startup is ready to take on a team, the startup has to have enough resources that will allow its team to be fully productive as this brings a lot of results that will lead to success.
Investing in a team is a very vital step to take when one wants to scale the business, entrepreneurs should do thorough research before committing to a team and find out if the company will be able to sustain having a team, especially since they will be earning a salary or wages. This puts things in perspective as to whether the business can sustain having a team in the long run.
