As you evolve, grow and improve so will the composition of your team. Everyone won’t make the next round. You can’t bring everyone up at the same time. Teams will change and continue to evolve.
Encourage creativity
Promote, encourage and support creativity. Help people break out of mundane routines and get them to create, lead and own their destiny.
