Was about to do an edit, but wanted to clarify; were you able to tell that they were holding you back instead of pushing you to do better? Working in media I’ve had a friend that I grew up doing everything with who eventually came to work for me for about 5 years.... and some of my best work was very much due to him... but at the same time I feel like his goals just weren’t aligned with mine and even tho there was positive he may have been holding me back. (He’s come back to work for me a few times, out in the Middle East, but recently left again and I’m stuck in this conundrum and your comment about previous team stuck out).

That’s good!

Was it simply because of the timeframes involved or you didn’t feel that the original team were quite the right folks you needed to succeed back then?

The reason I ask is because of that inkling and loyalty to people that (hopefully) stayed with you until it just didn’t work out or enough time passed that it makes more sense to start over.

Did you rehire any one of your previous team?

Hmm thanks, that’s probably the most true advice in any business or industry.
