Quick note: If you love the principles in this Playbook and want help on execution, we’ve just launched MondayHires.com, which connects you with with pre-vetted, top 1% global talent for ~70% less than local talent.
So, you want to hire A-players — people who take initiative, bring ideas, and make your business feel easier, not heavier. This playbook will help you:
I want killers who want to work with us — not people just who want to work. Add deliberate friction to weed out the non-believers. Give people space to go above and beyond, where your true A-players will rise to the top. Create win-win situations with the by understanding what motivates them.
🙋♂️ Why Listen to Me?
Well, you don’t have to – it’s all just my opinion based on my experience. But I think there’s some good value in here.
I’ve made every mistake in the book — and then rebuilt smarter systems.
I hired and managed a team of 30+ remote writers for a fast-growing media publication in my early 20s.
At Megaphone (one of Australia’s biggest digital marketing agencies), I helped scale departments, created job ads and applicant funnels, conducted interviews, poached A-players, and trained the team around me so I could keep having greater impact, freedom and enjoyment in my day to day.
Now with Art of Mondays, Founder Sports Club, and 3x partner businesses, I continue to build small-but-mighty teams that own their roles.
I’m too impatient to have average workers, B-players and toxic influences in my teams. I want people who make my life easier, not the other way around.
