Jason M. Lemkin says founders waste time on operational fixes instead of hiring. He regrets not spending enough time recruiting and recommends leaders dedicate roughly 20% of their time to finding key hires and building strong management teams.
It's probably a mistake but this is why I've written about this constantly for more than a decade I like I wish I was a better recruiter Harry it's my number one regret in life in tech is not being a better recruiter of investing talent of yes whatever version of it is I'm not it's not like I'm a bad the world's worst recruiter but you have you should spend all of you should spend 20% of your time I know you have like three partners Harry or whatever you should spend 20% of your time finding the one that that will get you these deals that you weren't in relentless and as executive you should just be relentless about building your management team relentless like stop wasting your time on this other thing find the guy that will make sure that you don't have the outage of crowdstrike stop trying to fix the issues yourself founders and go find the person to fix it.
