This whole article was light on hard content, but had some great ideas expressed well. For example:
Professional managers—MBA CEOs—are not very creative or adaptable, and their skills don't suit a startup. Business is like a multidimensional probabilistic chessboard. The rules aren't set, and the same moves don't always make you win. A lot of people can be really good in a set-piece battle; my biggest differentiating skill is I can invent new pieces.
expresses an idea that most can't articulate well, but seems intuitively true.
