My son-in-law is a start-up CEO. He took a couple of weeks of paternity leave after my stepdaughter had an emergency C-section, and in general has his productivity compromised by the demands of having a baby. So be it. Admittedly, his company is doing fewer, bigger things than the authors' (earlier stage, B2B product). But were things different in that regard, I'm sure his plan would still be to delegate, to devote as much time to helping his team as he could, and to not beat himself up about participating less in the company than he otherwise would want to. I also hope that my assumptions are eventually tested; I want him to have a hugely successful company and I also want more grandchildren! :)
