28:45 - key criteria for determining an angel investment (when looking at founders): - pure intellect - relentlessly resourcefulness (will they try run through the wall, then around it, over it, and make friends with it, until they succeed?) For people you want to hire: - Ability to convey something well and explain it secsynced a) able to see things you don’t see b) convey it in a shortened version so people pay attention - interview question: explain for me something you believe that everybody else believe is wrong? Note - will make some bad mistakes, but also super successes

I understand completely the editing vs writing example. The barrel vs the ammunition not so much.

8:40 - Once your managees know what they don’t know, as well as what they know, it makes delegating to a greater degree with less editing easier.

26:10 - test for whether a functional leader is superb, if they’re ahead of the curve compared to what you’ve expect, almost surprising you with their pace

6:45 - super metaphor that as an executive or leader you should be editing work, not writing. This leads to a higher leverage on your time

This is amazing

Easily my go-to session.!👌

Hearing intelligent people talk makes me feel so dumb :( just the vocabulary alone is impressive let alone I think he only used uh or um maybe 3 times in the entire 37 minutes he was talking. Thank you for this video,

“Ultimately the team you build, is the company you build” - 20:40

Very Informative

Great video guys!

Thanks. Great business insights.

19:05 - you don’t need to hire people similar to you, since it can help bring new perspectives. Besides being aligned on first principles - which are needed to avoid a ton of communication and debating --- good idea to write them out and check alignment on them with all new hires--

21:45 - a competitive advantage on talent can be to take risks on people you see potential in, who can grow into A+ players -- Mark Zuckerberg also mentions doing this, focusing on raw talent and they succeeded by hiring well out of college--

Excellent and informative!

13:25 - one way to avoid politics is transparency

Be transparent to the degree that benefits managee decision making and also gives people an ownership mentality over the company - 14:00 ish

24:00 - how to hire people in functional areas you don’t understand: Talk to other experts of that functional areas, and find the common threads Side note - potentially delegate the screening process to people with this functional expertise?

I do agree on all the things! However I would like to point out that I am ok with learning new things by myself if it is what makes me stray further away from my old job (which is tedious and boring longterm) and become more into what I wish which I could not be like 10 years ago. If I get a goal set for a position and I get extra work which can be done within 6 months and is doable without extra hours (I have family, so I do not even have the option to work any hour longer), and I actually made the experience in life that I got the Position and the raise, then I am not Generally against it. Also in regards to ISO / standard education certificates which are globally accepted and it brings me further, I'd love to have that certificate! I was 3 years in a company where I could not get any raise and anything, I was already a Lead, but never got any education. It was a "you are fine as you are" Argument, so I left and working in another company, no lead role and having more salary, lol. And they invest in courses and certificates I wish to have, so goals in general for a raise is ok. What is not ok is unrealistic goals or holding employees back for many years, always disappointing them, that a raise is not gonna happen, even if these people did more in evidence

8:00 - know how to avoid micro managing, and when more attentive managing is a good idea

3:20 - aim to get a monopoly on talent

4:00 learn to find many “barrels” type people, not just lots of ammunition

o shit this is good

Getting an intern to order smoothies for employees at 9pm is not good management.
