Based on my experience, there doesn't seem to be much overlap between the type of charismatic pitch founder capable of raising money and getting people to work for less than their market rate, and the bean counter-oversight founder capable of running an efficient business. But it's the former type that is able to raise money, so they find themselves in a position to have conversations like these.
- kelukelugames 11y agoHave you read Good to Great? The book describe those founders as rockstar CEOs. Very charismatic and good for morale, but not so much for business. http://amzn.to/1SVR48M http://amzn.to/1SVR48M
- fredkbloggs 11y agoThat's fine, but if you're that kind of founder you have to know your limitations and hire a top-flight COO to handle that side of things. If you can't, or won't, you're just another shitty founder-CEO whose company is going to fail.
