Although I recognize the author's best intentions, the narrative of founders being somehow "special" never sits right with me. Yes, the founder/CEO has the responsibility of the entire company on their shoulders, but everyone else has their own world on their shoulders, too. It's not only the founder who has a dream, who wants to accomplish great things, who will beat themselves up when they fail.

Paul Simon, American Tune:

    | And I don't know a soul who's not been battered
    | I don't have a friend who feels at ease
    | I don't know a dream that's not been shattered
    | Or driven to its knees
