At Drofa Comms, we build brands through people. We are glad to share that our CEO, Valentina Drofa, has published a new Forbes op-ed. It explains how to build a high-performing team with a focus on mindset, structured hiring, and employee development.
In “Mindset Over Resumes: How To Build A High-Performing Team,” Valentina says that early hiring can fail when onboarding and growth paths are not clear, especially in remote-first teams.
She also shares a more repeatable hiring approach that focuses on adaptability, shared values, and real problem-solving skills.
The op-ed primarily covers the following topics:
Why structured onboarding lowers early churn and helps new hires ramp up faster
How practical interview tasks improve hiring decisions and team fit
How Belbin team roles can show strengths and set clearer expectations
Why learning culture, mentorship, and regular check-ins improve retention
If you’re hiring this year, use it as a quick checklist to improve onboarding, interview signals, and team scaling.
