Hook (TODO: tie to 5 second of transformation): Just hire the really good people and get out of the way. If it was that simple, why do so many fail to do it?

  • I was recently talking to a colleague around what makes someone good at what they do.
  • 1st Point of agreement: Independent, motived and more scope is better.
  • 2nd Point of agreement:
  • 3rd Point of agreement:
  • However: Is it only scope? There is ample people who can build complex things, but are not that usefull.
  • Q&A: Adding another dimension makes a world of difference

In an ideal world: index)

  • When you start your career: you work on E (execution)
  • Then you increase your scope
  • Then you work on the H (How)
  • Then you increase your scope
  • Then you are given problems nad work on S (Solution).
  • Then you increase scope.
  • Lastly, you identify on P (Problem) or a Thesis

Complication: But what makes this hard?

  • This is non-linear - Most people get stuck in the H->S stage.
  • A lot of P involves taking bets and learning on your own.
  • It also requires to operate at a massive scope.

So why not just hire really good people and get out of the way? 5 second of transformation: You can, but you should have a system to take people up this ramp. It’s better.
