Founder’s Guide to Leadership

Hello Founders and Friends,

How do you get people to willingly follow you?

Last time I wrote about strategy — giving people a direction to follow.

But if you want people to want to follow you, strategy isn’t enough… you’ll have to work on your relationship with them too.

Leadership is a broad topic, so here are a few starters.

Let me know if one lands with you?

Warmly,

Dave

P.S. Here’s a comprehensive list of all my essays about leadership. Please, write back with a topic you’d like me to write about.

P.P.S. I run a global founder community called Founder Coach. We select high-growth founders, train them in how to coach, and curate stage-specific peer groups to accelerate their development. Our founders are backed by Coatue, Accel, YC and pretty any top fund you care to mention.

If you know an ambitious founder who might be curious to learn more, would you connect me directly?
