ADVICE

Hire For Competence First

  • Prioritize competence when building teams because it's scarce and crucial in a dysfunctional culture.
  • Seek above-average people and expect them to rise quickly in a competence vacuum.
INSIGHT

Conviction Paired With Humility

  • Effective leadership requires both strong conviction to act and humility to serve others.
  • The paradoxical blend of willful vision and low-ego execution produces durable teams.
ADVICE

Get People In The Right Seats

  • Put people in the seat that matches their gifting and be willing to reassign seats as the organization grows.
  • Elevate those who excel and be humble enough to step down when they fit better elsewhere.
