Any executive, any CEO should not have 1 management style. Your management style needs to be dictated by your employee.

The real thing you do is you ask a lot of questions.

Your goal over time is to use less red ink every day.

Every good startup is a cult. And it's really hard to create a cult if you are sharing space with people. Because a cult means you think you are better than every other startup, you have a special way of doing things that's better than anyone else in the world.

Don't accept the excuse of complexity.

You need to simplify the value proposition in the company's metrics for success on a whiteboard.

It's never a metric, it's where the person is going or not. Metrics are used to make things work better, but don't necessarily make a business better.
