There should be a good team to build a big startup. Examples of this have been seen in many good startups. You must have read or heard that some big companies of the world are doing great work with a small team. A good team will not only take your vision forward, but will also help in developing a better culture.
Focus on&zwj selection
Before forming a team, the first process is of selection. If attention is paid at the time of selection of the employee, then the later work becomes easy. Although working for a startup is not easy. Only those people who like to work in a set pattern or time will not be able to work here. In such a situation, during hiring itself, you should choose such people who want to work in this type of work environment, which is better for your startup. Keep a complete list of your company’s requirements, working methods and clarify everything to the candidate at the very beginning, so that there is no problem later.
Give time to your team
Many people hire good talent but do not give them time to settle, in such a situation, the matter becomes stressful for both the employee and the company. After this the employee starts searching for another job and you again start searching for a new employee. It takes at least 3-5 months for a team to properly train and adjust. Till then you will have to spend time with her.
Trust your team

Its co-founder Gaurav Shrishrimal says that his total team size is only 11 people, including 3 co-founders. Gaurav explains that having faith in the team is very important to build a good team, many times we hire good people but are unable to show trust on them, this does not bring confidence in the team. If there is no trust in the team, a good production will never come out.
Listen to your team too
It has been seen many times that startup founders do not give much opportunity to the team to listen or speak, Gaurav further explains that if there is no clear communication in the team, then the team will not be able to form. Along with this, it will also have an effect on work. Show trust in your team as well as trust in their idea. Whether the idea is right or wrong, it can be concluded from the discussion. However, if you ask your team to share the idea, then they will also feel like working.
These things are also important for team building
To make a better team, it is very important to show responsibility, to have continuous training, to give some time to laugh and joke, and most importantly, to reward the right work without delay, along with this, leaders should pay attention to their leadership from time to time. Keep taking feedback about your work so that your people stay with you and you can do great work even with a small team.
