The stereotypical image of the CEO is that they are
Backslappers and they play golf.
Not so in Silicon Valley I suppose.
The main factor I see for CEOs in a startup is
Time horizon. If you want to be around for thirty
Years, have fun, and incidentally build a useful
Product - you will do things differently.
The Steve Jobs/ Sun Tzu type of anecdote is the best.
If you spend 50 percent of your time on strategy or
Thinking, it is for the best.
A final point is that keeping a good attitude is
Important, not just for you but also for your team.
This is often underestimated.
