Why is it leadership hiring and firing? Well, when you hire, it's all about attracting the right talent for your team, right? So, you plan, which is much more of a management thing, in terms of what do you need for your team, and then you need to hire to attract internally and externally those people to your team. And I wouldn't use the word selling in terms of, hey, how do you sell those roles? But it's how do you attract? And attraction is a phenomenon that people want to follow you because they're attracted, right? And that's pure, pure leadership, right? So, think about that also on how complementary you want your team to be.
