Nicolas Cole argues leaders should hire from abundance rather than waiting to feel ready. Each new hire creates organizational, systems, management, personality, and financial debt that you'll service while learning. The only way to master hiring is through direct experience.
When it comes to hiring and training people, you literally will never be ready, ever. It's one of those trial by fire things where the only way to learn how to do it is to do it. You want to start down that journey from as much abundance as you can, because the moment you hire someone, you are paying down lots of different types of debt. You're paying down organizational debt, you're paying down systems debt, you're paying down management debt, you're paying down personality dealing with another volatile human being debt, you're paying financial debt. And so there's sort of no way around it. You just kind of got to sign yourself up for journey and go, "I'm gonna build the plane as it's taking off."
