The Flaws in Conventional Management Advice
The conventional wisdom surrounding company management often leads to misguided strategies, particularly for founders. Many founders have received the advice to hire capable people and grant them autonomy, but this has frequently resulted in suboptimal outcomes, as evidenced by Brian Chesky's experience at Airbnb. Over time, he discovered that this approach mimics the management style meant for professional managers rather than recognizing the unique qualities founders bring to their companies. This misalignment leads to confusion and inefficiency, underscoring the need for an alternative framework that better leverages a founder's vision and instincts.
