| I think some low-level employees will greatly benefit from a class in philosophy. It's not about the fault or that if the employee is right. Founder makes a promise to customers. He comes with an initial vision. It might be a flawed vision but if the product has got any traction before you even joined. It means his flawed vision works in the market. Don't mistake market for the world. Don't mistake your world-view for the complete truth of market or world. Your worldview is just another way of seeing this world and unproven way since that's not what got him his first customers. Why do you want him to bet on your unproven worldview? I see newbie traders making this mistake over and over. That's the only thing which matters. That's his worldview and his company took off within his worldview, there is no reason to change that. Unless of course, you have an axe to the grind and you are clearly irreplaceable, try that and if he is any good and catches you halfway, next you are out of the company. It doesn't matter who is right. It doesn't matter what is right. What matters how consistent you are in your worldview. That's what gives company success. If you have a superior worldview, best a founder can do is - fire you, so you are set free and you start your own company, compete with them and then lose until you correct your worldview. They do not want to bet on your worldview, you are not above the founder, no employee really is. That's what you need to understand. |
