Short YouTube clip (single speaker) offering leadership advice from a founder/CEO with ten years of experience: prioritize deliberate, careful hiring and act promptly to fire underperformers. The speaker emphasizes recruitment as a primary leadership responsibility and warns against rushing hires.
It's so important to take your time and hire properly. What I learned after growing my software company for 10 years is that recruitment was really my main job. My main job as a leader of the company, as a CEO, is to bring in great talent. Is this person going to do what they need to do to get us the results we need? That means not rushing this process. Make sure that you take your time hiring, but when it comes to firing, don't wait too long.
