How We Think About Teams

Teams built around superpowers, not job descriptions

A GTM Operating System is only as good as the people running it. This is how we think about who does what, and why.

"Most org design starts with a job description and works backward into a person. That's the wrong order."

— Tiffany Gonzalez, Founder

The better model: identify what someone is exceptional at — their superpower — and build the role around it. Then build the team around the gaps a single superpower can't cover. This isn't about ignoring weaknesses. It's about refusing to spend management time closing them.

The usual order
Job description
Hire to fit it
Manage the gaps forever
The Bombyll order
Find the superpower
Build the role around it
Build the team around the gaps

It's the same logic behind Listen First, one of the principles we bring to every engagement: we don't walk in assuming we know the answer, or that the org chart on the wall reflects how work actually gets done. We shadow the calls and sit with the team first, then design roles around what we actually see people do well.

Superpower: product discipline

15+ years scaling B2B SaaS products at Microsoft, IBM, and Clearwave. She brings the rigor of a product roadmap to GTM, so a system doesn't just get designed, it gets shipped and iterated.

Superpower: connective tissue

Advertising, business development, SaaS, and eCommerce across five countries. She treats marketing as the connective tissue between product, sales, and CS — not a department that hands off leads and disappears.

Why this matters more once AI is on the team

On the record

Tiffany talked about this directly on Bridge the Gap™ — Build a Superpower Team That Actually Wins (Retention): building teams around superpowers, jobs-to-be-done, and leading indicators that tie to retention over vanity metrics. Listen on the Blog & Media page.

In practice

A system that automates the wrong things just makes the wrong org chart run faster. Keeping people on the judgment calls that use their actual superpower, and letting AI take the rest, is org design — not just tooling.

Systems run on people. We design both at once.
