Hiring a Winning Team - How Three Types of Women Entrepreneurs Put it Together

As a business becomes increasingly successful, an entrepreneur must examine her business' changing needs and implement a system for meeting them. Booming success often means hiring a team of people to see to the details so the entrepreneur has time to run the business. Creating a winning team is a bit more complicated than just asking a bunch of people for help - is there a right way to do it? Is there a way to go about it that will leave members of the team, as well as the owner, feeling fulfilled while the business thrives?



A new study from Jane Out of the Box, an authority on women entrepreneurs, recently revealed there are five distinct types of women in business.



Each of these five types has unique approach to running a business-and as a consequence, each of them has a unique combination of characteristics and factors. This article profiles three of the Jane "types" and the different ways they may handle hiring a team.

Jane Dough is clear in her priorities and may be intentionally and actively growing an asset-based or legacy business. It is estimated that 18% of women fall in the category of Jane Dough.
