To a founder, the success of the company means their own success. To a manager, success is to climb a ladder, any ladder. Their incentives are very different, and thus how they approach things will be.
The question I have grappled with is, can a manager ever be made to feel like he has a sake in the company it in the true sense? Companies do attempt to have partners and share purchase plans but a true ownership may be out of reach, unless the founder makes sincere attempts to include the manager in decision making etc.
Even then I suspect a founder may fail.
