Last week, I chatted with my friend Chris Sica of the Ronin Society. We covered everything from the “founders trap” to the talent transfer; from market upheaval to effective talent planning.

Here are seven key takeaways you’ll get from reading the interview, courtesy of Chris:

  1. Acknowledge that founders tend to be overly optimistic about people they interview

  2. Understand the founder trap and that you probably suffer from it

  3. Use company financials to see what’s needed in your talent roadmap

  4. Do you need operational efficiency or a sales boost or both?  What can you afford?

  5. How to budget for an expensive first major hire

  6. How to think about a sales engine and how to build one

  7. What does an incredible operator look like?
