If your team is small, it must be people who are organized and trustworthy enough that you don't need to micro-manage them and track their work. If you find things are slipping through the cracks, you don't have the correct small team. The key hiring focus when you are that small is: "Is this person good enough that I can simply tell them to get it done and it will happen, so I can go work on other things?"
