As a startup founder and member of the leadership team, there’s a resource you should know about.
Looking at the image below, there are clearly difficult issues you face and times when you need help.
You probably turn to your board, peers, or mentors for support. Those are good resources for sure.
Increasingly, sophisticated founders/CEOs with intense performance pressure turn to specialized executive coaches to carefully think through big ideas, executional issues, leadership problems, thoughts, and doubts.
Specialized coaches have the expertise, but don’t evaluate you for compensation or performance and don’t risk straining and overloading the relationships with your peers and mentors. It can also be lonely, and extremely demanding at the top; everyone from board members to investors to customers to employees needs your time and energy. Working with a specialized coach can help break through the isolation and maximize your performance.
