Be extremely intentional when hiring and managing your team. Avoid compromising on talent just to fill positions quickly. It’s tempting to think, We need more people because we’re growing fast, but hiring the wrong people can be more detrimental than having fewer, highly capable individuals. A strong, lean team will always outperform a larger, less effective one. In fact, I believe that at IQ, we’re achieving far more now with fewer people than we did in the past.
