What you’ll learn inside

• ⏳

  When to hire (and when to wait): Find the balance between healthy pressure and harmful constraint—hire slightly before you're ready to avoid bottlenecks and burnout.

• 🔍

  Generalists vs. Specialists: Know when you need adaptable do-it-all talent and when to bring in seasoned pros who have scaled exactly where you want to go.

• ⚠️

  The onboarding gap: Why most founders spend weeks recruiting but less than 3 days onboarding— and how fixing this unlocks retention, speed, and culture.

• 📅

  The first 60 days: Set explicit milestones, schedule real touch-points, and have new hires own something meaningful early—momentum builds confidence.

• 🧪

  Delegation that actually works: Start small, test how they think, shorten the feedback loop, and build trust while getting real signal—not gambling on big leaps.

• 📊

  Build systems that manage people: Establish rhythms, document expectations, set clear KPIs, and create self-sustaining accountability so the company runs without you.

• 🏆

  Lead like a coach—not an operator: Use Radical Candor, set high expectations with high support, and shift from doing the work to developing the people—so your team owns outcomes, not just tasks.
