Reading this article I feel like I just got done talking to a C-.
Grand words with strong advice, but at the end I'm not sure if the topic point "when C-level?" is any more clear in my head.
I apparently need to be:
- Tired, but not so tired I can't survive the C- interviews
- Willing to delegate, but know what stuff is OK to let go
- Honest
Yet these seem more like qualities I just need in hiring. I'm tired of, or not good at, doing X job. I'm OK with not personally doing X. I tell the truth and expect new hire doing X to give it back. If all 3: hire someone for job X.
The main version for C- still seems to be, "the VCs are becoming a huge thorn in my side" whether I admit they have a point or I just want them to calm down.
Perhaps I'm just far too cynical about C- value these days. "We're strongly pushing to accelerate our core strengths and metrics while increasing overall investor value."
