True, some Founders just won't succeed at that, for lack of profile or mindset or experience. But ultimately, especially in VC-backed startups, everything starts and stops with the Founders at least until Series B. Handling well hardships is part of the role, and contributes to the making of the most successful Founders. Now, Founders don't have to do this on their own and can get help. Especially for bigger companies. Knowing how to acknowledge your own limitations, reach for help and delegate is a core CEO attribute. I have seen over and over again Founders doing that very successfullY.
