Nikolay Storonsky

CEO of Revolut

Managing 40+ direct reports? Nik Storonsky breaks down his brutally simple framework for evaluating talent - https://x.com/tzvetan_Ck/status/1991051489452675102

1. Excellent people = self-guided missiles. They pick the goal, press the button, and hit the target themselves.
2. Strong people = you show them the goal, they execute without hand-holding.
3. Average people = weekly iterations needed to reach the goal.
4. Below average = constant iteration, goals still missed.

The key? Only hire strong or excellent. No exceptions.
