07: Recruitment

“It takes guts to be a first follower. You stand out, you brave ridicule yourself. Being a first follow is an underappreciated form of leadership. The first follower transforms a lone nut into a leader.” Derek Sivers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fW8amMCVAJQ

Quidditch is at a crossroads and the only path to success involves bringing in many new people. In this episode I go over some tools for recruitment, but more importantly some perspective and some insight. Included some analysis of ask/guess culture, vulnerability, creating a healthy team culture, and growth/fixed mindset.
