Leadership: Presence vs. Absence in Running a Company
To run a successful company, don't apologize for your vision. Rather than giving in to popular demands of more freedom, resources, and money, I did the opposite. The result? The people who stayed were happier because we moved fast and only tackled what we could handle. Many leaders make the mistake of raising too much money, hiring too many people, and going in too many directions. They defer too much to their team, thinking it empowers them, but in reality, it just creates bureaucracy and politics. True leadership is about being present, not absent.
