Hire mechanics, not scalers.

✅ You need someone to come in and help you figure everything out.
✅ You need someone who isn't afraid to fail.
🚫 You don't need someone who just wants to copy someone else's playbook.

Melanie Naranjo's 3 questions to have managers ask themselves about their teams every quarter:

1️⃣ Is this person ultimately making my job easier or harder?
2️⃣ If I could go back in time, knowing what I know today, would I hire them again?
3️⃣ If they were to quit today, how would I feel?

Determining high performance can be emotional, but not acting on performance issues quickly and transparently will hurt you in the long run.
