Are you interested in scaling your business successfully? Here's a key takeaway: Despite having over 3,000 employees at their peak, Zynga faced a 90% share price plunge due to its failure to adapt to the rapidly changing games industry. Staffing rapidly without a synchronized strategy can lead to heavy overheads and financial losses. Always align your team structure with current needs and projections, and only scale talent after capabilities are proven.

One question I heard a lot at the events I was at last week was “Is it realistic to always hire A players?” In honor of final four, I’ll use a basketball analogy (even though the Wolfpack didn’t win). In my experience, it *is* possible to always hire A players. But people get tripped up on what “A players” actually means. In a conversation last week, someone said “I can’t afford to always hire A players.” “Why not?” I asked them. “Because I can’t bring on that many senior people.” And that right there is the misconception. An “A player” is not about the seniority of the people, it’s about the capability of the people at their level. Look at the basketball teams that win championships. Yes, there’s usually a superstar outlier or two (A+ players), but those teams are also made up of A players across different *roles*. The role is the point, not the seniority. Here’s a personal example: If I am building a team, that team is going to have mid-level (non senior) people on it. That doesn’t mean those people are not “A players”.  In fact, I’ve hired some rockstar people that were “mid-level” at the time and now run product for other companies. I think a better question is: How do we make sure that for every role we hire for, the people we hire are “A players”? That’s a lot more tough to do. It just takes putting in the time to interview candidates. It also means keeping the team overall at the “A” level.

Reflecting back on my younger days, I recall how Motörhead’s “Stay Clean” was both a source of inspiration and a subtle rebellion against my parents’ music preferences. This song, beyond its raw energy, conveyed a message of authenticity and integrity, themes that I’ve carried into my professional life, particularly in the fast-paced world of IT. Transitioning to my current role in a company that truly values diversity and inclusion has been a game changer. Here, I can openly share my diverse experiences and background without the fear that once shadowed my earlier career choices. In previous roles, expressing individuality often felt risky, as if it could somehow limit my career progression or lead to misunderstandings. Now, in an environment that not only accepts but celebrates diverse perspectives, I see the tangible benefits of this inclusivity. We’re not just a team; we’re a rich tapestry of thoughts, experiences, and cultures, which translates into more innovative, empathetic, and comprehensive solutions for our clients and projects. The ethos of “Stay Clean” - staying true to oneself and maintaining integrity - resonates more than ever. It’s a constant reminder of the importance of personal authenticity in a world that’s constantly evolving technologically. Whether we’re immersed in coding, pioneering in cybersecurity, or steering digital innovation, the genuineness and integrity we bring to our work are paramount to building trust and achieving success. I’m curious to hear from you: Is there a song or an artist that has left an imprint on your professional ethos? In this ever-changing landscape, how do you ensure that you stay true to your authentic self? Let’s embrace our diversity and use it as a catalyst for innovation and integrity in all that we do. #diversityandinclusion #Leadership #InclusivityInTech #Authenticity #Motörhead #beyourself

Buffering C teams is not the same for large and small institutions. While the former has enough A teams to ensure a good outcome, the latter may not be as equipped. Too many large institutions become CDOs of mediocrity and insecurity. Remarkably, Apple harnessed A teams both in the beginning (small) and end (large) of Jobs’ tenure. #business #teams #institutionalstructure

Steve Jobs, emphasizing the importance of hiring only the best talent to foster innovation. As AI and robotics become more prevalent, the value of human creativity, problem-solving, and innovation becomes even more critical. Here's why hiring the best candidates is crucial in this context: 1. Complementing AI Capabilities🧠 The best candidates often bring skills that AI cannot replicate, such as creative thinking, emotional intelligence, and ethical judgment. These human qualities are essential for guiding and complementing AI technologies. 2. Innovation and Adaptability💡 Top talent tends to be more adaptable and innovative. As AI evolves, the ability to quickly learn and adapt to new technologies becomes increasingly important. Those who can innovate alongside AI advancements will drive future progress. 3. Ethical and Responsible Use of AI🛡️ With great power comes great responsibility. The best candidates are typically more aware of the ethical implications of AI and can ensure its responsible use. They can navigate the complex moral landscape that AI presents, ensuring that technology benefits society as a whole. 4. Strategic Decision-Making🌐 AI can provide data-driven insights, but strategic decision-making often requires human judgment. Skilled individuals can interpret AI outputs and make decisions that align with the organization's long-term goals and values. 5. Human-Centric Design and Services❤️ As we rely more on AI and robots, the need for human-centric design becomes essential. #ai #avestix #humancentric #robots
