Another potential red flag attribute I've witnessed is shifting of the idea deliverablee\objectives after the green light is given. A partner I once had developed a pretty great idea we decided to execute on after 20+ hours of planning. He started proposing entirely new (follow-up) ideas mere hours into our execution. Then started morphing the original plan. 1 week later he was dropping idea bombs left and right. I finally delivered something close to the original plan and he spent the next 2 months slowly backing out of the project entirely, having put in less than 10% of the effort.
- rvanlaar 5y agoThat's a recurring experience. Sorry you got bitten by it. I've had it as well and others I know as well. This is normal for what is here given as 'idea' persons. It used to generate a lot of frustrations within me. Now I know that an idea person, or for that matter most entrepreneurs, will have ideas. They'll share their current version with much enthusiasm and will wake up energized the next morning with, for them, tiny iterations on that idea. For others, such as the engineer implementing it, those 'tiny iterations', are completely new and will require large amounts of rework. One of my colleagues described it as the idea person being a little boat that is swarming around a large container ship. The container ship just isn't able to change course on the whims of the little boat.
