Andreessen Horowitz Partner James da Costa (@jamdac) says every company needs a high-agency, high-output "weapon":
"In the South [of England], a weapon is like, you're on the football pitch, this person is an absolute weapon... Because he gets the ball, he drives up the pitch, he makes tackles, he scores goals... he's extremely dangerous on the field and he turns the course of games."
"In companies, for me, these are people... who have unimaginable throughput. So they're sort of autonomous missiles. They set the target themselves and then they go and execute on those things, and you don't have to worry about the thing getting done. It's already done."
"They create preferential attachment. Because they are setting the bar for what kind of high throughput in the company means, it means that other people raise themselves to that bar in the company."
"Other good people want to work with good people. And so then you start to get this network of really, really good talent that works within the company."View quoted post on X
