Key Takeaways

1

Hire for 'rate of learning' rather than just experience, as high general intelligence allows individuals to bridge skill gaps faster and provides the best long-term leverage for a growing company.

2

Use the 'Diamond' management framework to diagnose underperformance by checking if the employee knows what to do, how to do it, and when it is due, or if there is an external blocker, before attributing the issue to a lack of motivation.

3

When hiring for C-level roles, use a candidate's 'black book'—their ability to bring proven talent from previous roles—as a litmus test for their leadership quality and their ability to scale functions quickly.
