As a CEO (and a manager more generally), part of your role is to build an efficient TEAM to deliver the PRODUCT, not to deliver the product by yourself ! Actually, a good manager is someone that is good at recruting, motivating and good better and more competent employee than himself. As a manager, doing the work of your employees is REALLY REALLY bad because: 1) you spend time on something that has less value for your company than your role (finding custumers, developping market and product vision) 2) your employee will know that how good they are in their job, you will shot-circuit them just for your pleasure. So the best will leave and the others will be demotived If you want to keep working on a product, your company has to stay small (let's say: less than 50 people) or your role has to be some kind of Design Architect (and you'll have to hire a CEO for all the business administration)
