b"Josh, Cody, and Molly talk about Monday's interview with the leadership team from the Paramount Schools. Their discussion includes their own interview experiences (whether they focused on character like Paramount does or competence like others popularly do), traits to look for when developing your own team, what it takes to be coachable, and how to develop people without overwhelming them. They also discuss the relationship between charisma and substance. Substance is something the Paramount leadership team preferred significantly over charisma.\\nKey Takeaways:\\n- Be coachable (don't just look for others to coach!).\\n- Be going in the same direction as the rest of your organization (especially your leadership team).\\n- Know what you want and need before building your team.\\n- Be open to changing directions if you are not able to accomplish what you want with your current strategy or approach.\\n- Prioritize substance over charisma."
