Greenlight Chris Wolford on continuous recruiting — always be fishing, no open req required

Peter granted Chris Wolford standing latitude to recruit continuously: fill his two current open reqs, but also keep feeding recruiter Bree candidate profiles and interviewing strong people even with no open req. Extends Chris a trust-gated operating model to build a faster-paced bench rather than hiring only against approved headcount.

Three-Lever Talent Management

When pursuing a velocity or performance mandate, simultaneously operate on all three talent levers — upgrade (hire better), retain (protect key people), and exit (remove blockers) — rather than sequentially. This creates compounding momentum: exits free capacity for upgrades, retention preserves institutional knowledge during transitions, and upgrades raise the performance bar that justifies further exits.
