It's incredibly important to remain in control of the key and vital tasks of any contract you win as the prime. You must stay involved and in control at all times when managing teaming partners, and you should share in as much of the work as you possibly can, this way you can learn and grow your own business as much as possible. This is not a hands-off or passive industry. It's a lot of hard work, but can be very rewarding as well.Â
