Great performance has a context.
There is no context-free A-player. Performance emerges from a person inside a system.
Assess the environment, not only the person
Reconstruct what support, constraints and incentives surrounded the work.
Stage, resources, manager quality, pace, scope and motivation shape performance. A leader who thrives with a mature brand and deep bench may struggle in a zero-to-one environment — and the reverse can also be true. Hiring well means understanding both capability and the conditions that let it compound.
