保罗·格雷厄姆:创始人模式·第1则
保罗·格雷厄姆《《创始人模式》》· Founder Mode · 哲学 · 领导 · 人性 · 投资
At a YC event last week Brian Chesky gave a talk that everyone who was there will remember. Most founders I talked to afterward said it was the best they'd ever heard. Ron Conway, for the first time in his life, forgot to take notes. I'm not going to try to reproduce it here. Instead I want to talk about a question it raised. The theme of Brian's talk was that the conventional wisdom about how to run larger companies is mistaken. As Airbnb grew, well-meaning people advised him that he had to run the company in a certain way for it to scale. Their advice could be optimistically summarized as "hire good people and give them room to do their jobs." He followed this advice and the results were disastrous.

白话
在 YC 活动上,Brian Chesky 的演讲让所有人难忘,许多创始人说这是听过最好的。他讲的核心是:关于如何运营大公司的传统智慧是错的。Airbnb 成长时,好心人建议他必须按某种方式管理才能规模化,概括起来就是“雇好人,给他们空间做事”。他照做了,结果灾难性。这说明,对创始人来说,盲目采纳“专业管理”建议可能损害公司,因为创始人角色不同于职业经理人。
