We have found that a good team can help to compensate for weaknesses, supporting each other whilst training and mentoring can help to up-skill particular holes. But key strengths, what we often call superpowers, are built over a career.

When hiring - look for a candidate's superpowers. Ben Horowitz cautions not to "hire for lack of weakness, rather than strengths". He explains that it is crucial to place a high value on areas where you need a candidate to be a world class performer.

If you only ever hit your 'goal velocity' then you are not achieving your true potential. Thoughts?
