How Much Time Should a CEO Spend Hiring?

When you find product market fit and customers are saying “wow”, the CEO needs to start focusing on Hiring. But what does that mean in terms of time.

1. 80% of Time

Yes, the overwhelming majority of your time will need to be spent on hiring. This is not a drill, 25-50% simply will not get you the best team possible

2. Delegation

The reality of your new role means you have to delegate most of your current responsibilities out to other team members. The sooner you do this the better.

3. Slow Down

Your product may make less progress as a result of all this change. That is ok, if we hire a sensational team, that will fix the problem.


Best of luck out there.
