This document outlines Sheldon Grizzle's experience starting businesses and helping to build the entrepreneurial ecosystem in Chattanooga, Tennessee between 2008-2014. It discusses how he co-founded CreateHere in 2008 to attract, retain, and help creative entrepreneurs grow their businesses.

Lessons learned include starting with creative entrepreneurs, prioritizing programs over space, investing in people not ideas, and growing a diverse entrepreneurial community.

The role of psychology in human resources management by Dr.Mahboob Khan PhdHealthcare consultant
