I do think the person who takes the title of CEO is risking more, and than deserves credit. They have their name in the public, and reputation on the line more than anyone else in the company (and, ideally should be up at 3 am as well, either fixing servers, or cold-emailing PR firms, or working on investment decks, blah blah blah). Greater risk deserves greater upside - while it's just a rule of thumb, I think Dan's post is a good starting point for the conversation on how to recognize that.
- mattmanser 16y agoI hate that phrase 'reputation on the line'. Most companies don't have a CEO who have a reputation. And companies fail. So what, it's life. Stop worrying about a thing that's not actually valuable.
