I failed. For the longest time, I thought being a strong executor was enough. I prided myself on getting things done quietly, without making waves or stepping on toes. But avoiding tough conversations out of fear of offending others? That’s not leadership—it’s hesitation disguised as empathy. Yesterday, in a powerful conversation with Carol X., it clicked: progress requires courage. Leadership means balancing the human side with the mission, knowing when to push and when to hold space. It’s about seeing the big picture and driving forward, even if it feels uncomfortable. In just two months, I’ve conducted 50+ A/B tests, optimized workflows, and delivered data insights. But the biggest transformation has been internal. I’m learning to step up as a leader—to build resilience, hold a stronger core, and embrace tough decisions for the sake of the mission. I realize that execution alone isn’t enough—it’s time to lead💪🏻 What’s a moment that made you rethink how you lead?

Faster hiring means fewer drop-offs and more accepted offers. At GenAI Summit last weekend, I talked to 10+ startup founders: hiring founding engineers is slow and complex. Here’s what I heard: Recruitment timelines often span months, costing startups top talent, as one founder experienced losing a top ML engineer after a 12-week process. Co-founders without HR support spend significant time on hiring, with one saying they dedicate 30% of their week to resume screening instead of coding. Gaps between interview rounds can lead to candidate disengagement, with an HR lead noting a 20% loss due to delays. Startups struggle to compete with big tech benefits, as one founder shared, “We found the perfect candidate, but Google’s offer outshone ours.” I offered them our plugin https://lnkd.in/gYPmC6qv, and I highly recommend it to those facing similar challenges. Just as I was writing this post, a company messaged me saying it worked well and helped them find an ideal ICP by simply using a JD URL—amazing! This streamlined their process with automated sourcing, screening, and outreach. Many startups have now started integrating our tool to shorten hiring cycles and keep candidates engaged. Speed matters. In hiring and in coding, pace defines your edge. #GenAISummit2024 #hiringchallenges #startupgrowth #recruitmentsolutions #genai #techrecruiting #hiringefficiency #startuplife #talentacquisition #productivityboost #innovationinrecruiting #hiringplugin #startupsuccess
