Description
This course focuses on the importance of building strong founding teams and establishing healthy co-founder relationships. Learners begin by identifying personal leadership styles, strengths, and ideal complementary skill sets in a business partner. The course explores team formation stages, equity distribution models, and setting clear expectations through founder agreements and role clarity. Emphasis is placed on communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and building shared vision and trust among team members. Learners also explore hiring best practices for the first 5–10 employees, creating a value-driven culture, and recruiting for both skills and alignment. The course uses case studies to show how successful startups were built around strong team dynamics — and how others failed due to unresolved conflicts or poor hiring decisions. Students walk away with strategies to vet partners, attract the right talent, and lay the foundation for a productive and resilient team. This course is essential for startup founders, HR leads, and team builders looking to create long-term synergy and shared leadership.
