Does that mean moving him from CEO into more of a COO role, or bringing on a COO and reallocating those responsibilities to that person?
- heymijo 9y agoI'm reminded of Marc Andreessen's guide to startups, particularly on firing executives: "Demotion as an alternative to firing (or, alternately, "I know, we'll hire her a boss!"). Hate it. Great people don't deal well with getting demoted. There is an occasional exception. Unless you are positive you have such an exception, skip it, and move directly to the conclusion." http://pmarchive.com/guide_to_startups_part8.html http://pmarchive.com/guide_to_startups_part8.html
