WRITER's Chief People Officer: Companies Aren't Failing at AI, They're Failing at Change
Q: What does it mean that AI amplifies an organization, and how should leaders respond?
AI magnifies what a company already does well or poorly, so leaders must focus on culture, change management, and a deliberate balance of top-down and bottom-up initiatives to align AI initiatives with business goals.
How Linear Built a Winning Culture: Focus on Impact, not Hours
Q: How does Linear approach hiring, especially the on-site work trials?
Work trials are thorough, paid, and designed to reveal how a candidate collaborates and thinks, with signals gathered from team-wide kickoff, mid-check-ins, and final presentations to assess fit and capability.
How Linear Built a Winning Culture: Focus on Impact, not Hours
Q: Has the pace of tech and AI changed Linear's view on hours vs output?
They acknowledge faster iteration and more competition, but argue that focusing on the right things and differentiating through quality and user experience matters more than increasing hours.
How Linear Built a Winning Culture: Focus on Impact, not Hours
Q: What is the culture that is allowing Linear to achieve so much success?
