Two Years at HiBob: Lessons Learned and Shots Taken
Today, I celebrate my second anniversary at HiBob, reflecting on a journey that profoundly deepened my commitment to a growth mindset.
Just last week, our leadership team gathered for a retrospective that highlighted not just our successes but the spirit in which we achieve them. While one group showcased their exceptional completion of features for the Q, going 100% on their top priorities, it was Israel David’s, our CTO and cofounder, reaction that truly encapsulated what HiBob is all about. He applauded their achievements but pushed us further with a critical question: "Everything’s green, yet, are we truly challenging us?" ( in this case they challenged them selves, yet, the important point here is the question itself)
Israel David’s question resonated deeply with me, sparking a reflection on our goals and methods. He likened our strategy to shooting from the three-point line in basketball, emphasizing that our real aim isn't merely to achieve the easily attainable but to set goals that challenge us to extend beyond our perceived limits, even if we risk missing.
This mindset reflects the resilience and boldness I admire, by pushing past conventional boundaries. At HiBob , we're encouraged, at all levels, not just to meet our targets but to engage with each challenge fully, learning from every attempt and growing with each project.
Over these two years, I've embraced every opportunity to take my shot, successful or not, knowing each effort contributes to my growth. This culture of continual learning and pushing past comfort zones is what makes my time at HiBob truly transformative.
