As an emerging industry, cannabis provides a unique opportunity for people of all work backgrounds to make a fresh start early in their careers, whether they are new to the workforce or simply new to cannabis. Employers need to keep in mind that businesses cannot be run with only leadership—focusing solely on the growth of company executives while leaving behind newcomers can be detrimental. As the individuals that execute the day-to-day business strategy, it is essential to take care in developing employees early in their careers, focusing on a few key tenets, including conveying confidence in the industry, sharing development resources that help them best understand their strengths and passions, and ensuring that executives comprehend the importance of developing newcomers. With these pillars in mind, business executives and human resources in cannabis and beyond can develop the next generation of leaders.
