Ender - the ultimate leader

Ender is a 6 year old boy. He has no relevant experience in practically anything.. Still, he is Earth's 1st and only choice in its last and final survival battle against a coming Alien attack that may extinguish Earth, and life as we know them.

Ender was chosen for what he was - a brilliant strategist, a constant self-learner and above all, a survivor, a winner.

If i meet Ender, i will invest in him... no matter his experience.

I urge you to read Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card.

Choosing a Board of Friends

You know what you need to do, because you are a one hell of a person. It’s really not complicated…All you’ve got to do is: 1. Raise money to build ship (and it comes together with a board member, for free..) i. Build team of ship designers and builders ii. Design ship (report to and consult with your director) iii. Build the damn ship.. iv. Consult, report, discuss open issues with your one-man-board v. Solve expected problems.. vi. Solve unexpected problems (consult with Director #1) 2. Raise mor...

The 'Right' Timing for recruiting Messiah/VP Sales

Plenty of theories around the question of what should be the right timing for bringing in the 'magician' .. that ultimate sales executive that brings with him this amazing Rolodex of only Fortune 5000 companies and has miraculous sales skills.. the guy that can turn our miserable pipeline into a bursting flow of deals... We brought up that question in one of our CEO round tables and came back with interesting observations: Most of the participants stated the 'obvious'... that well- accepted common wisdom that a VP of Sales should NOT be brought to a company prematurely.. "the only sales executive in the 1st phase should be the CEO..." .." if you bring a mature VP Sales before there are real sales, you will lose him because these guys' salaries are based substantially on their performance bonus.." .. "the kind of guys you really want will not join an early stage start up..". I agree NOT.. A VP of Sales is not a hired gun and should not b...
