Expert Or Master: Two Growth Strategies
- Builders can pursue 'expert' or 'master' strategies: double down on a single strength or broaden skills like a decathlete.
- Both paths can lead to greatness; choose based on personal tolerance and goals.

- Hire based on both role needs and the candidate's career stage and work style preferences.
- Match your founder type to the hire (e.g., Drivers prefer senior experts who need less hand-holding).
