保罗·格雷厄姆:创始人模式·第5则

保罗·格雷厄姆《《创始人模式》》· Founder Mode · 行动 · 领导 · 人性 · 投资

Except in practice, judging from the report of founder after founder, what this often turns out to mean is: hire professional fakers and let them drive the company into the ground. One theme I noticed both in Brian's talk and when talking to founders afterward was the idea of being gaslit. Founders feel like they're being gaslit from both sides — by the people telling them they have to run their companies like managers, and by the people working for them when they do. Usually when everyone around you disagrees with you, your default assumption should be that you're mistaken. But this is one of the rare exceptions. VCs who haven't been founders themselves don't know how founders should run companies, and C-level execs, as a class, include some of the most skillful liars in the world.

白话

很多创始人反映,所谓“像管理者那样运营公司”,实际结果常常是请来一群职业忽悠,把公司带进沟里。创始人普遍有被PUA的感觉:一边是投资人告诉他们必须按经理人的方式管公司,另一边是当他们真这么做时,员工又反过来糊弄他们。通常周围人都不同意你时,你该默认自己错了;但这是少数例外。没当过创始人的风投并不真懂创始人该怎么管公司,而高管这个群体里,确实混着一些极擅撒谎的人。所以创始人要警惕:别把“专业管理”当成金科玉律,要相信自己对业务的判断,同时用实际结果检验身边人的建议。

今日一问

你身边是否也有人用“专业管理”的说辞,让你怀疑自己的判断?你如何用结果来检验?
