Ever had some issues working with founders—those idea-generating machines who keep you on your toes. Together with Jessica Noon, we explore the ups and downs of managing opportunity costs, staying aligned with company values, and balancing personal branding with effective leadership. With a mix of personal stories and practical strategies, we unpack how founders can avoid falling into the ‘cult of personality’ trap, manage their ideas without overwhelming their team, and foster a balanced, self-aware leadership style that supports growth and collaboration.
