This guy has also been generous, and incredibly wrong, about other leaders too. Go look at his glazing posts of someone throughout Q3/Q4 of 2024, especially on Nov 3rd.

I would argue that being a great operator (what he derides as manager mode) requires setting clear outputs and expectations from who you are delegating to.

He calls this "founder mode" but this can be done by any highly skilled manager/operator.

Go in peace. Through your writing you've made a positive impact on me, and I'm sure others in your time here. That's all any of us ever hope to do. Go in peace.
