Hire like the best

Hiring: Why More is Often Less (Ravi Gupta)

Why am I sharing this article?

• How many great coaches do we have? It should constraint our hires in communities. Can we make that assessment?
• Match people with problems (not role with problems).
• When hiring, focus on the ability to get things done without a lot of direction.
• The best people are notavailable, you need to chase them! You need to earn their interest in your company.
• It requires extreme patience and a high pain tolerance.
• The solution is not more people. It’s more trajectory-changing people.
• “I have no idea how many great managers we have, so I have no idea how many people we should hire.
• The constraint on hiring should be how many great managers you have.
• Figure out how many managers you would clone and give them as many people as they can handle.”
• Make a list of the best people in your company.Note whether they are a manager or individual contributor. Write down what they are working on.
• Confirm that those people are working on the most essential thing in your company and are overloaded with responsibility.
  • Don’t worry about burning them out.
