This is kind of the general equivalent of letting someone sign your checks. I don't want anyone else signing my checks, and I don't want anyone doing anything else on my behalf.
No _startup_ CEO's time is so valuable or so scarce that they don't have time to order a fridge or a laser printer. This is for the lazy guys that enjoy having an assistant because delegating makes the feel like A Real Businessman.
I bet I could follow around any startup CEO for a day and point out 50 times he's got 20 minutes to order a fridge, or whatever.
Steve Jobs or something, sure. He really could be entirely booked up every single day all day.
- jheitzeb 17y agoI worry about the startup whose CEO cares a single second on what kind of fridge they have. Wrong priorities. Spent that extra 20 minutes on hiring, product planning, sales or coding.
- staunch 17y agoI worry about the startup CEO that thinks it's beneath him to order a fridge. He may be aloof and think his job doesn't involve grunt work.
- jheitzeb 17y agotouché. So we agree, shouldn't care about the kind of fridge and it's not beneath them to order it. Btw, hopefully the people in the company care more about the quality of the people, the work and the direction that what is IN the fridge.
