"Hire for potential. Don't hire for what you have done. And why I say that is nobody actually wanted to do things that they have done over and over again, but more on doing things a little bit different, a little bit harder every single . time, Hire them now so that we can groom them to do the next thing that they might not have thought about." - Trasy Lou
"What I always say to a team is to set stretch goals and unleash their potential. We make the team grow together and make sure that everyone is doing something that they're passionate about.As a leader, we have to support the team to reach a goal that they think is impossible. Once they reach that goal, they would feel so good ans that they’ve grown a lot in the role. It’s super important when building teams and putting people in the right spot in an area that they love doing and giving them stretched tasks that they feel so good about after they have accomplished it." - Trasy Lou
"A market launcher usually likes to move around. They love to share knowledge, but at the end, they need to find someone local that understands the local nuances to really move the country forward to the next stage. So I really like that setup. At Atome, when we're launching in different countries, there are a couple of members in the regional team to help the GM or even to hire the GM to make sure that we could have a local person to be in charge of the country to make it successful. So that really accelerates the growth." - Trasy Lou
