In a startup, hiring a new employee can be a business-changing event. The smaller the organization, the more impact each employee has on its ultimate success. Don’t get me wrong — hiring is critical in any size of company, but larger organizations have the ability to orient and train new employees to an extent that startups can’t offer. In a large company, if a new employee fails, the work can be redistributed and absorbed by other employees without having a significant impact. 10 Sure Fire Ways Young Entrepreneurs Set Their Ideas Up For Failure.
