  • Summary

  • I tried to pay my employees as little as possible. I thought I was being resourceful—& it seemed to work. Until it totally backfired. I learned my lesson the hard way.

    No founder wants to hire B-level or C-level talent. Everyone is looking for A-players. But most founders don't put in the work. And they end up with B-level teams.

    If you're serious about getting and keeping A-players there's only one way to do it. You need to have a coherent strategy, you need to be intentional, and you need to make it priority number one. Here's how.

    Takeaways

    • Why paying employees less than they're worth incentivizes the wrong behaviour
    • Why you need to have a system for regular performance reviews and salary adjustments.
    • How to attract and retain A players
    • How great junior talent can outperform B-level experienced talent.
