I’ve got some questions around how we’re thinking about this. If we take a step back, does this even make sense? What are our primary lenses for how we’re vetting candidates?
A few thoughts.
-
Builders > Bureaucrats
-
We need strong, product focused, humble, tenacious leaders who are AMBITIOUS and drive us to create / grow / maintain products.
-
They need to be the highest/executive level thinkers and people of a character that embody the values IC wants to be known for.
We’ve been focusing on only a part of the picture, and therefore starting from inaccurate assumptions and unhelpful lenses. Let’s fix this for this conversation and the future conversations around leading well in the Coop.
Let this be one of the primary filters when vetting candidates as we consider our options.
