But the notion of "taking credit" is sort of at odds with the micromanagement of the employees. No it's not. "You wouldn't have completed this project if I hadn't been there to correct your mistakes." Good leaders correct details because they think they're important. Micromanagers correct minor details as a means of making it look like they're adding value (oftentimes this is a lie they tell themselves just as much as it is one they tell others). Plus, funding a company doesn't buy one a CEO spot. If it did, all startups would be run by VCs.
