Ben Horowitz talks about this somewhere near the start of his book "The Hard Thing about Hard Things“. If I remember correctly, he said that it was very difficult for him as a CEO to load the problems he had onto his employees because handing the burden over felt bad. He was responsible for the burden. It makes some sense if you think about it like that. Later he did turn things around and share his worries and to his surprise the employees weren’t to worried and actually started to solve some of the problems.
