hiring quickly and keeping the soul w/ tommy norman
guest: tommy norman, chief agility officer at aquanaevo
- when scaling a company, know the people who thrived early on may not be the right fit for the next growth stage
- define core values with specific examples, not buzzwords like integrity, so new hires know how to actually live them
- let teams try to self correct conflict first through working agreements before escalating to formal coaching or a pip
- hiring managers lose candidates mainly from lack of communication, so overcommunicate even when there is no new update
- pay close enough to market rate that money stops being the deciding factor, then win on autonomy, purpose and mastery
