How We Handle the People Who Ship

Every team has talkers and finishers. Talk is cheap and abundant; a working feature in a user's hands isn't. So we optimize around finishers.

What that means:

Hire for a bias to finish — evidence of taking work across the line, not a list of things started.
Give ownership, not a checklist — finishers do their best work owning an outcome.
Get out of the way — protect focus; cut status-meeting overhead.
Simple scoreboard — did it ship, and does it work?

A team built around finishers produces progress instead of reporting it.
