Whom Should You Hire at a Startup? (Attitude Over Aptitude)


Startups.We know the mantra: Team matters. Is this philosophy exaggerated? Overrated? Cliché? No. Team is the only thing that matters.

 

Whatever you’re working on now, the half-life of innovation is so rapid now that your product will soon be out-of-date. Your existence is irrelevant unless you continue rapid innovation. Your ability to keep up is dependent on having a great team of differing skills. Individuals don’t build great companies, teams do.

 

The nature of the Internet and global knowledge is such that even if you’ve stumbled on to a super interesting area of innovation there will be many teams tackling the same problem at exactly the same time. If you develop something novel that catches a spark you’ll have the world gunning for you over night. In this globally connected world product leads disappear in nano-seconds.

I selected this article today curated by Robin Good because customizing content to fit each segment is a must for effective curation and content marketing.

 

Robin Good: This article (no author name) on Curata raises a very important questions for those responsible to select and publish content for a medium to large organization.

 

The issue is: do you address all of the possible customer tribes, in additional to existing and potential clients, or do you curate and select content for a specific tribe?

 

While the article overall answer acknowledges that only big brands have the power to do so and that it is more than OK not to specialize too much

 

I agree with him Robin - 

 

Those companies that do not customize comtent that is highly specific to their unique tribes will not be able to compete with those who do.

 

Robin says:

 

“Given the size and present communication strategy of many large companies, this is not something that will happen overnight, but in my view it is certain that companies which are not able to “curate” and communicate on th exact wavelength of their customers will have an increasingly hard and competitive future ahead, even when pitched against much smaller competitors”.

Stimulating. 7/10
