The article discusses the importance of collaboration and humility in leadership. The author reflects on an experience as a loan underwriter where a new hire surpassed expectations by noticing details the author missed. This shift in perspective led to recognizing her value as an asset rather than a threat. Emphasizing the necessity for leaders to build teams where individuals amplify each other's strengths, the piece highlights how such an approach leads to innovative outcomes and more effective teamwork by hiring skilled individuals and fostering a culture without ego, as exemplified by the startup Lovable.
Great leaders don't compete with their teams. Instead, they build teams that complement them and recognize that the entire team is stronger with high-performing people.
A good manager shouldn't be the smartest person in the room. Strong teams are never built on ego and when you hire smart people, you get a more innovative team.
More than likely, you'll hire someone who may be 'smarter' in one area, which will allow you to shine with different skills.
The company puts its principles right on its careers page, stating that there is 'no room for ego' and that employees 'amplify each other.'
