Every time we go into a problem, we try to get perspectives from all audiences. That includes the C-level executives and, most importantly, people in the field. When we have that 360-degree view of a problem, we get better insights into the nuances of an issue and how best to solve it. - Sajit Joseph #hiring

Here's an opportunity to make your work count. In more ways than one. Every project you touch has the potential to safeguard children and set new standards in digital safety, child protection and more. Your research lasts - contributing to a tangible change to the world around you. You'll be in the thick of it, working side by side with the founding team, gaining insights into not just the 'what' but the 'how' of creating change. Maybe your back (and front) stage pass to startup life and the satisfaction of personal growth. But only if you are ready to roll up your sleeves and get on the roller-coaster :) Space 2 Grow

Most companies get this wrong when hiring a CTO: They hire highly technical, perhaps even world leading experts in their narrow field of technology, instead of hiring as CTO a business strategist with broader technical expertise in that industry. I'll explain: The CTO sets the direction for the technical strategy to achieve the business strategy. If you hire a CTO that's a world leader in X technology, they're likely hyper focused on that, but have no strategic view of how this technology can serve the business. A strategic CTO can always hire subject matter experts (and give them fancy titles like Chief Science Officer or Chief Nanoparticles Engineer, or Chief Robotics Engineer) and harness their exceptional technical talent for the company's technology strategy. Instead, companies hire a highly technical CTO and then are disappointed when this technical expert is not strategic. This technical expert became an expert because they focused their life's work on this technology. They didn't focus their life's work on business tech strategy in your industry. You need a CTO who understands business first, and technology second. Otherwise, you'll find yourself spending incredible amounts of money on doing engineering work (as well as pet projects) which are not strategic, and therefore are not focused on bringing real value to the business. Challenge me if you think I'm mistaken. I'm absolutely open for debate! What kind of CTO should companies be recruiting? #cto #ceo #recruitment #reengineeringleadership

I love the conversations that arise as a result of posts like this. The following comment within the conversation is a brilliant summary of how a technical person may develop their skills to be more prepared for a business leadership position: https://lnkd.in/eq9NEebF I particularly like the response here because it's more informative than the standard "do less technical work" response that is given. Thanks, Adelina Chalmers. #leadership #personaldevelopment
