leadershipGetting a company off the ground requires that the founding team perform a variety of tasks. The CEO of new companies is the "chief cook and bottle washer" during the early stages.Investors are not risk takers when assessing a business. For that reason, they not only look at markets and products but also at the ability of the people in a new organization to formulate and execute a plan. If they determine that the team is not capable of executing the plan they will not provide investment funds without demanding changes in management control. Whether it is the quantity of work or the breadth of the work, entrepreneurs need someone to participate in asking the right questions and providing advice. If they have time and money, entrepreneurs can acquire advice using coaches, mentors and sometimes incubators. Most often they actually need more critical "real time" assistance from someone sitting with them in the trenches day-to-day. I will take on a "C" position on the management team (CEO, VP Business Development or VP Sales and Marketing etc) on a 3-6-9 month basis to augment the management team during investment, growth and/or development cycles of the business. |
