This comment, though it lacks detail and is probably illegible to someone without the right level of experience, rings very true to me. The OA puts forward a reductive thesis that is easy to digest but doesn’t get to the heart of anything interesting for me. It’s definitely true that the traits and disposition necessary to be a successful founder are not the same as to be a successful CEO of a large company. I don’t think it can be reduced to the dimension of trusting “the team” more or less as you scale though. Judgement is required at all scales, perhaps even moreso at large scale when there is innumerable data and countless trained storytelling voices attempting to influence you. At this point bullshit detection becomes the primary leadership skill, whether it’s the founder or someone else in power doesn’t really matter.
