The importance of a great team

Every great team works on missions. No inspiring mission, no great team
Individuals can't do big things alone. We need to inspire people to join our missions
A small number of exceptional people are better than a large number of good people
Small group of people is the only thing that ever changed the world

Our role as leaders

Leadership matters. Without proper leadership, there is no direction = chaos
Our task is to inspire people to follow an inspiring mission that leads to a better world
Great leaders empower people to shine and do work that is bigger than themselves
Great leaders are selfless and put their focus on their team and the mission
Great leaders work the hardest and set the standard for the whole company
People will find you a bit harsh at times. As a leader your goal is not to be liked
The mission is the most important thing. And you must lead the way
If you want to do extraordinary things and change the world. It shouldn’t be easy
Encourage your team to challenge the status quo and bring fresh ideas to the table
Foster a culture of free speech, truth and merit. The best ideas win no matter what

Identifying potential team members

In recruiting people look for extraordinary people. Ask just for two bullets
Tell me about your life. The decisions you made and why you made them
Tell me about the most difficult problems you worked on and how you solved them
Hire the best people for the best salaries than pretty good people for good salaries
Look for intelligent, high integrity, hard working people

Location of your team

It is very important to have your own HQs and run your team in-person
HQs are necessary to achieve missions with a team. Otherwise the spirit is lost
People need to be fully committed. Either people are on the ship or off the ship
Full commitment or nothing. The mission is the most important thing
