He also cautions founders on ‘cleverness and heroism’, impressing upon them that the end goal should be the primary focus and when acting as CEO, it’s imperative to keep your development team on track and on time.
He concludes his talk by saying “There is an infinite number of things you can be working on. Choose wisely”. Choose wisely indeed, and keep your eye on the prize. Founders are faced with endless distractions - staying focused is imperative.
