Summary

Daniel Robbins sits down with Deepali Vyas to unpack why “performance problems” are often fit problems, and why the most dangerous leader is the “almost right” one. Deepali breaks down talent market fit as the alignment between a person’s wiring and a company’s stage, pressure, and reality, not the résumé or big brand logo. They also go deep on the future of work, from portfolio careers and fractional leadership to why most companies are skipping the ROI layer of AI adoption and will likely overhire after they overcut.
