Nik Storonsky, founder of Revolut: Great people don't need management Nik Storonsky recently sat down with Henrique Dubugras for an amazing conversation where he shared his approach to people management: "As soon as you start managing people, they're probably a failure". On one hand this sounds harsh. On the other hand he's saying the best people need trust and autonomy. He's also always pushed back against hiring senior execs and believes that great managers need to be in the details. Also - after nearly 10 years of practically neglecting the media, Storonsky has now sat down for two podcast interviews and a series of linkedin posts in the past few months. Is this his Zuck moment, going through a personal rebrand to help Revolut's private valuation? Or is this a CEO who is getting ready for a different career, one as the CEO of a public company where he will be forced to engage with the media on a much more regular basis? Either way I am HERE for it.
