Cohen: Ask references to describe scenarios where candidates excel as superstars
“What you do is you call and say, what is the perfect scenario where this person is an absolute superstar? That they're so happy and so effective and they just get 10 times more done than you would expect. What does that, if you were to construct that for them,…”

Cohen: Diluting headcount across multiple initiatives destroys a scaling company's competitive advantage
