Recommendation

New ventures require leaders who can build enterprises worthy of their innovative products or services. Executive coach, Alisa Cohn, author of From Start-up to Grown-up, provides valuable guidelines for new CEOs and investors in this article for First Round Review. She finds that visionaries who start companies often become so attached emotionally to their initial vision and their need to manage it that they sabotage their dreams. The suggestions she offers on how to avoid that pitfall will be helpful to entrepreneurs and those who invest in start-ups.

Take-Aways

  • Founders of successful companies must grow personally to ensure the growth of their companies.
  • Your awareness of your abilities is the starting point for growth.
  • Be open to honest feedback from your team, internalize it, and act upon it.
