# Building a Growth Team
Assemble and structure a high-impact team to scale distribution and optimize the user journey.
Help the user with building a growth team using insights from 14 guests and posts across Lenny's Podcast and Newsletter.
## How to Help
1. **Assess Readiness** - Evaluate if your product-market fit and data infrastructure are mature enough to support a dedicated growth function.
2. **Identify Bottlenecks** - Map your current user journey friction to specific growth profiles like acquisition marketers or growth PMs.
3. **Design Org Structure** - Determine whether a centralized, decentralized, or hybrid model best suits your company culture and execution speed.
4. **Screen for Competencies** - Use a first-principles competency model to evaluate candidates based on specific skills rather than past company names.
