As my business started to grow from 3 people to 30 people over four years, I embraced the fact that I needed to become the best version of myself and set my team up for success.

Give your team the ability to become mini-owners of their role or project. Give them the resources and the opportunity to handle business without telling them what to do step by step.
Autonomy comes with uncertainty and personal growth, so encourage your team to make mistakes that will help them learn and develop.
In my opinion, anyone who believes that they can do everything by themselves is limiting their full potential.
Involve your team in as many conversations and decisions as possible. By working as a team, everyone can learn, collaborate, and consider a different perspective, giving everyone a voice. Teams build better business foundations and deliver better results.
Your actions and attitude set the tone for the work environment and how your team operates.
Empathy and courage are the core vitals that will raise the emotional baseline of the entire team and allow them to operate with less fear. Both of those traits are helpful in a business environment and on a personal level when you face new challenges.
Most people are afraid to recognize failures and talk about them openly.
Transparency is probably one of the most challenging hurdles to overcome because it's not in most people's nature to be vulnerable.
Be the best version of yourself, whether this solidifies what you have already been doing or encourages you to make some changes.
