Ideas - Jesse Hertzberg

I put this together for the new AI users on my team, to help them make their AI output sound like them.

I rebuilt our sales comp plan from scratch.

We posted a full stack engineering role and got 1,500 applications in under 24 hours.

We didn't hire you to absorb the system.

Twenty years ago this month I started posting MetroStars (one of the original MLS clubs) news and tidbits to my personal website.

This guest post by Eric Fixler is in response to my blog post, which has managed to go pretty viral over the past six weeks.

I pulled out my notes on Good to Great to find a quote or two for yesterday's blog post on self-awareness.

“What is your damage, Heather?”

You deserve to surround yourself with a team that has the right culture, one capable of moving with urgency to solve problems that create new opportunities.

We must always operate with a sense of urgency.

Revenue is neither a raison d'être nor a dirty word.

Focus unswervingly on the customer.

Build a culture centered around speaking the truth, and you create an environment that nourishes courage, encourages risk taking, and regularly pushes your business through new thresholds.

We can be sure we are building a successful recruitment strategy and brand when a candidate we reject refers a candidate we hire.

Company culture is a living, breathing organism you have to nurture.
