Alex Kvamme of Pathlight: 5 Things You Need To Know to Successfully Manage a Team
Craft your team. Approach team building like a general manager would build a professional sports team. Look for teammates that complement each other; that work well together but also challenge each other to succeed; that offer different viewpoints and cover blindspots; and that share a sense of purpose. That’s not to say that you shouldn’t strive for excellence. You should always be shooting to hire the best possible people. But you should also carefully consider how each candidate would affect and augment the existing team.
