Hire & Fire:
Only hire when you feel you’re completely desperate for the role
Hire to keep up with growth, not to generate it
Don’t hire someone to do something you’ve not yet figured out
if you feel uncertain if you need to hire a particular role, it’s probably too early.
Your gut often knows you need to fire someone long before you rationally accept and perform it, and it’s always difficult.
