Strategies for Hiring and Firing in Building an Innovative Culture

Every leader is trying to driving innovation inside of their organizations, but that's easier said than done. Uri Levine is the co-founder of Waze, which sold to Google for $1.1 billion. He's also the first board member and investor of Moovit (Waze but public transportation) which Intel acquired for $4 billion! It's safe to say that Uri knows a thing or two about innovation and building great products and companies. In today's episode we will explore why it took Waze 4 years to reach "good enough" product market fit, why it's more important to fall in love with a problem instead of a solution, how to manage the impact of fear on corporate innovation, how to apply an entrepreneur mindset inside of your company, and why firing is so crucial to business success.
