Faster Hires + Sharper Meetings + Better 1-on-1s
HIRE
Speed is Everything.
Top talent is off the market in 14 days or less. Unless you’re offering over $300K and a personal chauffeur, you’re not that special.
What Usually Happens:
Job description stalls in approval limbo
Interview scheduling takes forever
Decision-making is slow
The best candidate accepts another offer
A Better Way:
Post the role within 48 hours
Review and schedule candidates within 72 hours
Pre-block time for interviews
Decide within 24 hours of final round
Stay warm with timely, human updates
Too difficult? It might be time to decide if the role is really needed or if you just need a hand.
LEAD
Meetings Aren’t the Problem. You (Probably) Are.
No agenda, no follow-up, no decisions. That’s not a meeting. It’s noise.
The Old Pattern: You meet to “align” + everyone shares updates + nothing gets written down + no one follows through + repeat
A Smarter Rhythm:
No agenda? No meeting
Start with last week’s action items and score them
End with:
What did we decide?
Who owns what?
By when?
Track it and review it every time
Good leaders don’t run more meetings. They run better ones.
GROW
Your 1-on-1s Are Useless? Don’t Panic
If your 1-on-1s are just updates and small talk, you’re missing the point.
Typical Equation: “how’s everything going?” + vague answers + random updates = 30 minutes gone, no momentum
Try This Instead:
Ground the conversation with a performance scorecard, then keep it focused with a similar vibe:
Wins (personal/professional)
Action Since Last Status (what moved, what didn’t)
Roadblocks (what’s in the way)
Feedback (two-way, always)
Growth Check-In (career and performance goals)
It doesn’t have to be fancy. It just has to be intentional.
