Jessica Alba says this old adage might sound corny, but it is true: “There is no I in team.” The team that runs your business is the engine that drives its success, so she implores small business owners to create a culture of empowerment. “From day one, build a process for employee mentorship,” she says, “and make sure that you have the infrastructure to support it.” At The Honest Company, they have something called The Honest University, which is a learning and mentorship program designed to support and develop talent internally. If you take steps like this, Jessica says, “You will foster an employee community that really thrives.”
