Start-up Lessons Learned: Team building

There are three major tasks a CEO should focus: 1. pointing out a clear direction 2. recruiting right people to join the team 3. finding sufficient resources to support 1 & 2.
However, under a limited-resource condition, as a CEO, how do you execute those 3 points perfectly?

executing the three key tasks perfectly involves clearly articulating a compelling vision to rally the team, prioritizing strategic hiring of multi-skilled talents that align with our direction, and continuously seeking creative, lean solutions for resource optimization to support both the vision and team growth.

@donaldkelly63 Wow, thank you for your feedback! Especially regarding the part about optimizing resources through lean solutions, I always feel like I haven't been doing well enough in that aspect.
For example, I often overcomplicate things, and as a result, information fails to be conveyed clearly. In product development, I tend to overthink at the beginning, causing users to have to click seven times before experiencing the "AHA" moment (although I have now optimized it).
This is an area I've been continuously learning and your sharing has reminded me of it. Thank you!
Launching soon!
IMO: Find people who compliment your journey, and never become underutlized, and stay lean. Use interns, students, remote freelancers. until you have steady income and can afford more permanent team structures.
