The First Hire
0 - Default Title
Description
Built for founders and owner-operators, it turns guesswork into a clear system: map the constraint that throttles throughput, choose the minimal capability to remove it, and acquire it with the lowest-risk contract. Along the way you'll run a simple role ROI model, structure paid trials, and design a clean handover that sticks. If you've been searching for **first hire** answers that are practical rather than preachy, this is the field guide.
- Learn when a strong generalist beats a specialist-and when depth is non-negotiable (**generalist vs specialist**) - Decide between employment and the external bench with clear tests (**in-house vs contractor**) - Structure a **90-day onboarding plan** that proves value against a baseline - Use a **role ROI model** to align compensation with outcomes, not vibes - Protect your calendar and focus with handoffs that reduce interruptions (**founder time management**)
For founders who want fewer hiring mistakes, faster output, and a calmer calendar, this book offers crisp decisions, not slogans. It's the difference between adding people and increasing throughput-so your small team can ship big work.
