Uber Founder: The Art of Hiring Executives

Uber Founder: The Art of Hiring Executives PM POT 22 JUL WHAT IS YOUR FOR HIRING EXECUTIVES TODAY? PRAY. Travis Kalanick CEO of Uber Net Worth: $3.6 billion NOBODY'S NAILED ALL THE WAY. IT'S IT'S WEIRD BECAUSE WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS EXECUTIVES TALK A F***ING AWESOME GAME. AND THERE'S TWO THINGS YOU WANT AN EXECUTIVE TO DO. YOU WANT THEM TO BE ABLE TO ORGANIZE AT SCALE, ORGANIZE AND MANAGE LEAD AT SCALE. YOU ALSO WANT THEM TO BE PROBLEM SOLVERS, THE MOST STRATEGIC BADA** PROBLEM SOLVERS ALIVE. THIS IS LIKE BEING LEFT-HANDED OR RIGHT-HANDED, AND THERE'S VERY THAT ARE AMBIDEXTROUS, BUT YOU NEED THAT THEY'RE ALWAYS LEANING A LITTLE BIT ONE SIDE OR THE OTHER. THE BEST EXECUTIVES THAT ARE DOING BOTH WELL, BUT TO THE CONCLUSION OVER MY YEARS DOING THE STUFF IS THE PROBLEM SOLVING IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING. IF YOU GET SOMEBODY ORGANIZES AND MANAGES WELL BUT CANNOT SOLVE A PROBLEM, THEY'RE GOING TO BE DOING RIDICULOUS STUFF IN A SUPER ORGANIZED WAY. SO THE BOTTOM LINE IS YOU'VE GOT TO PROVE THESE FOLKS ACTUAL PROBLEMS AND AREN'T JUST TALKING THAT'S THE NUMBER ONE. AND THEN ON THE INTERVIEW PROCESS, WHAT IT'S LIKE SO THAT DAY ONE WEEK TWO. AND DAY ONE, YOU BETTER BE EXCITED. SO IF YOU'RE EXCITED AFTER SIMULATING WORKING TOGETHER THEN DAY ONE IS REALLY WEEK TWO, AND YOU'RE STILL EXCITED, YOU TOOK A LOT OF RISK OUT OF THE SYSTEM. THAT'S ALL I GOT FOR YOU.
