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.
