Let’s Get Real About Startups and Mental Health
- angersock 11y agoCan we please retire the “strong, tough, male” founder stencil once and for all? So, there's a difference between that stereotype in a founder, and in a CEO--though the author uses the two as though there isn't. A CEO's job is to lead and to make decisions and to delegate, and that is something that monkeybrains are wired to assist with only with CEOs that appear strong and masculine. It's not ideal, mind you, and there's nothing wrong with seeking help and whatnot, but ignoring thousands of years of experience is probably not wise here.
