Your point (1) applies more broadly, I think. As you grow any company, you are at some point going to have to bring people in with more expertise in an area than you have. You need a strategy for this and to develop effective ways to evaluate performance outside of what you know closely. BS detector calibration can get you part way, but it takes more than that to efficiently differentiate "really good" and "really busy". Of course over time this tends to become clear, but you don't have that time.
- old_sysadmin111 3y agotrue, but I'll just say I had trouble with this from sales and marketing in a way that didn't manifest in say legal or HR or vendor management
- ska 3y agoOne thing about legal and financial is that there is more accreditation and industry guardrails around them - HR too to a lessor degree. I think this makes it easier to get to "this person can definitely do the work" than some other functions.
