Practical Aspects of Collaboration

Based on learnings from Jimmy Lin on running a high performance nonprofit R&D organization, there are clear ways we can apply the learnings to ose. First, focus on skilled professionals. Minimum time requirement. Intensive recruiting process starting with job description. Manager and leader on each team. Quick to fire, slow to hire. 3 paid staff, 100 volunteers. Careful matching of person to the task. Virtual operation. 2 year avg retention. 1 of 8 work out, 1 in 4 are hired. Screening application, interview, and then final interview. Clear roadmap.
