I know founders who try to be in that position by unloading the boring tasks to other people. If it is boring for you, chances are pretty good that it is boring for someone else (unless it's their chosen profession). Of course, it's a great way to gauge power - delegate something that you think is boring to see if someone will just do it without complaining. If they do it, great! You're more powerful than they are. They'll also resent you and stab you in the back when they get a chance.
