Hiring your first senior leader? It’s a big move — and one that can either unlock growth or create chaos.
In this episode of HR Decoded, I’m breaking down:
- Why so many “Head of” hires fail
- How to tell if you need a builder, a doer, or a strategic partner
- The 5-question checklist every founder should ask before posting the job
Plus, I share a real founder story about a Head of Product hire that went sideways — not because of a bad candidate, but because of unclear expectations and a flat org structure.
This episode is for any startup leader thinking, “I just need someone senior to take this off my plate.” Before you do — listen to this.
