For 29 years, I've met many owners of large, fast-growing companies. They share a quality that captivates me.
Their vulnerability is stunning.
For example, they admit they have no idea how to solve a dangerous problem, even after trying everything.
They sincerely ask a young manager to explain a new social trend, even though everyone else looks up to them.
Or they state the fact that without signing an investment deal within the next month, their super-business will have to close.
Or they voice their confusion: "I can't force myself to engage in the company's affairs anymore. Am I burnt out?"
People with far less intelligence, experience, and achievements act like perfect gods. But these titans fearlessly expose their Achilles' heel.
Don't they mind getting hit? Of course, they'll suffer. But they have something that outweighs the pain.
The potential of the company or personal discomfort? The answer is obvious.
If your mission is so full of meaning, then worrying about the vulnerability of your ego is both ridiculous and a waste of time.
Sincerely yours,
-Alexander
