As a senior executive or company owner, evaluating your C-level team is crucial. Here are some questions and considerations to help you assess: - Does your firm's performance consistently mirror that of the market? - Is there frequent turnover on one of your teams? - Do you notice a general malaise or morale issue within a specific team? - Is one of your executives consistently not aligned with the others?

IC-to-Manager-to-IC #i2m2i thought of the day : Hiring tips for new managers. As a manager, few decisions impact your team's success more than hiring. While it's not an irreversible choice, making the wrong hire can drain your team's energy and momentum for months. Through my journey, I've learned that getting this right is crucial, especially for new managers. If you are a new manager, here are 3 tips that could improve the quality of your hiring: ▶ Look beyond surface skills. My biggest early mistake (one I see even senior leaders make) was prioritizing surface-level expertise. Leading a team of CDN/WAF specialist solutions architects, I initially gravitated toward candidates with direct industry experience, often from competitors. Today, I view this as merely a "nice-to-have." Instead, I focus on deeper qualities: Can they navigate complex technical challenges? Do they show potential for autonomous growth? Will they take genuine ownership of customer problems? Can they positively influence team dynamics? ▶ Resist the deadline pressure. We've all faced it, that deadline to "use or lose" a headcount. The temptation to lower your standards to meet hiring timelines is real, but it's a trap. The solution? Think ahead: Build and maintain an active candidate pipeline, structure your recruitment process beforehand, and prepare your interview panel in advance. This preparation allows you to focus on candidate evaluation when it matters, rather than scrambling to organize logistics. ▶ Be Right A lot. Hiring decisions demand exceptional judgment. To enhance your decision quality: Carefully select a diverse interview panel, include members known for their strong backbone—those who'll challenge your thinking, ensure every interviewer deeply understands your requirements, and create space for risk identification and thorough qualification at each interview stage.

I can't count the number of times a C-Suite leader has told me: "My gut said this was the wrong person for the role, but I really needed to fill it." The cost of a mishire cannot be underestimated. Especially for a lean team. This shows up in the form of: --Recruiting costs (actual $ if you use an external recruiter, team bandwidth if you use an in-house recruiter) --Team fatigue (first from all the time and energy put into recruiting, then from needing to cover for them if they aren't keeping up, then from trying to replace them) --Lost revenue and opportunity from having fewer contributors and pulling the team into recruiting and away from their day job (see above) --Low morale from having a revolving door of employees --If this is a managerial role, having a leadership vacuum puts strain on everyone in the ecosystem: employees, colleagues, and more senior management. Recruiting needs to be an iterative process.
