> The problem was he assumed that any employee only knew a subset of what he knew, so that employee's only value-add was saving him time, not any expertise. Wow, if I didn't know any better, I'd bet we worked at the same company! However, my guess is that the above attitude is commonly found among type-A founders. They would not have gotten to where they are without a healthy dose of arrogance. |

I've seen this idea expressed on occasion. I don't think it's true. They need drive, they need confidence, they need decisiveness, they can certainly use a dash of charisma... but outright arrogance? No.
Arrogance is the refusal to consider even the possibility that one might be wrong. No dose of it is "healthy".
