@TrojanKP3@escapefrommelos Identifying a root cause does not imply that the latent problems were unheard. They were disregarded purposely because they have no impact on solving the root problem.
Hope this helps

Founders cannot outsource recruiting.
âRecruiting is the most important thing because you need creativity; you need motivated people. Ideally, the early people are all geniuses. Theyâre self-managing, low-ego, hardworking, highly competent, builders, technicalâmaybe one or two sellersâbut you canât watch everything. You canât micromanage everything.
The early people are the DNA of the company. When you outsource recruiting, when you have other people hiring and interviewing and making hiring decisions without your direct involvement and veto, thatâs a sad day. Thatâs the day that the companyâs no longer being driven directly by you.
Thereâs now a fly-by-wire element in between. Thereâs some mechanical linkage going through another human, often at a distance. And other people are not going to have the same level of selectivity that you will as a founder.
The important size at which a company starts changing is not some arbitrary number, like 20 or 30 or 40. Itâs the point at which the founder is not directly recruiting and managing everyone. The moment that there are middle layers of management, then you are somewhat disconnected from the company, and your ability to directly drive a product team that can take the company from zero to one goes away.
So we really cannot outsource recruiting. People think you can. They hire recruiters, for example. Maybe you can outsource a little bit of sourcing, but I would even argue thatâs difficult. The reason recruiting is so, so, so importantâand a lot of it is obvious, Iâll skip the obvious reasonsâbut one non-obvious reason is that the best people truly only want to work with the best people.
Working with anyone whoâs not at their level is a cognitive load upon them. And the more people theyâre surrounded by who are not as good as they are, the more keenly theyâre aware that they belong somewhere else, or they should be doing their own thing.
The best teams are mutually motivated. They reinforce each other. Everyoneâs trying to impress each other.
One good test is when youâre recruiting a new person, you should be able to say to them, âWalk into that room where the rest of the team is sitting. Take anyone you wantâpick them at randomâpull them aside for 30 minutes, and interview them. And if you arenât impressed by them, donât join.â
When you do that test, you will instinctively flinch at the idea of them interviewing randomly a certain person thatâs kind of in the back of your mind. Thatâs the person you need to let go. Because thatâs the person keeping you from having this high-functioning team that all wants to impress each other.â
Elon Musk on how he deals with running many different companies:
âWell, I have a lot of inbound communication, so itâs basically information triage. I try to segment my days to avoid too much context switching.
Because, arguably, fear isnât the mind-killerâcontext switching is.
Itâs hard not to context-switch when your inbox is full of stuff, but think about it: if you had to context-switch every three seconds, every thirty seconds, or even every three minutes, the cognitive penalty would be enormous.â
