Hiring should prioritize passion for the mission and the ability to connect with the company's goals over traditional qualifications.

Hiring A-players is crucial; it's important to find people who are passionate about your mission, not just skilled individuals.

I prefer to hire for talent, ambition, and hard work rather than just expertise, especially when building something new.

Hiring should focus on individuals with an internal locus of control, as they are more likely to take ownership of their work and drive impactful results.

I focus on motivation fit in the early stages of hiring, as it is key to making the best hires and avoiding the worst ones.

I believe in hiring people based on instinct and giving them a chance, rather than relying solely on the hiring process, which can be imperfect.

In a meritocratic culture, it's essential to promote individuals based on their performance in their specific disciplines rather than on general management skills, ensuring that leaders are the best in their fields.

As a leader, I focus on three key principles: people, principles, and process. Finding the right people is my top priority before driving the company towards its goals.

I believe that hiring senior managers with experience is important, but you also need to balance that with nurturing young talent within the company.
