The Wise Exec Knows How Little They Know

"The only reason we're in this spot is my own incompetence." This is a quote from...

...one of my clients.

We were at breakfast discussing

one of many highly challenging circumstances

he partners with me to help him chart a path through.

What you should know about him:

→ Cofounder & COO of a tech enterprise

→ Truly innovative (really, no one does what they do)

→ Brought the biz to a VERY successful exit

He's far from incompetent,

yet he wasn't being superficially humble.

He meant it:

he made some bad moves,

completely avoidable fumbles,

self-inflicted wounds impacting many.

WE. ALL. DO.

__________________________

This guy has more experience and proven success

than many of the CEOs and execs I come across.

Yet...

he's willing to admit how little he knows.

(and not just to me).

THIS is why I'll invest

in the business he's building next.

__________________________

and know you don't have it all figured out,

need someone you can openly admit that to,

so you can get to work on strategizing a path forward...

▶️ REACH OUT ◀️

and we can discuss what it looks like

to work with an independent Operating Partner

like myself or one of my (X)Form adjunct OPs.
