Efficient scaleups in 2024 vs 2021: Sourcegraph (with CEO & Co-founder Quinn Slack)
The Pragmatic Engineer
The Strength of Partnership and Real Perspectives
Having a co-founder is essential for navigating the challenges of leadership, particularly during growth phases, as they provide support and grounded realism. Experienced co-founders can help counterbalance tendencies toward weakness or excessive niceness. Caution is advised in seeking advice; often, what is available is superficial, unless it comes from deeply involved board members or advisors. The pervasive negativity about CEOs in public forums can erode confidence, leading to a perception that employees harbor similar doubts. Acknowledging the human side of CEOs is crucial, along with understanding the difficulty of balancing feedback and confidence. Real growth comes from building strong teams and learning from past failures, reinforcing the need for support in leadership roles.
