Haha, fair. So based on your workplace, your advice to Matt is to fire 50% of the Splinterlands team because they're fakers?
Personally I think Founder Mode is just another corporate buzz word that doesn't really mean anything. It's not practical. A founder should probably be an expert in the products, but should they really also be an expert in accounting? Or HR? Legal? Cybersecurity? Marketing?
Paul Graham says Founder Mode works better, but doesn't actually explain what Founder Mode is and gives absolutely no data to back up that claim... it just sounds silly to me. I think hiring is the most important activity in a company, and I think it's important for CEOs, etc, to occasionally meet with people of every level to get a good perspective, but I think ultimately the most important thing is to hire great people and trust that they know their area better than you do.
No. But I get the percentage from my workplace:)
Let me ask you back. What would be your perspective.

You got me wrong :)
Matt already is in founder mode and he did fire 50% of the employees.
Trouble is now what?
Founder mode and manager mode are not mutually exclusive. Reality is often complicated. It is the founder who need to figure it out.
There is no wise old man!
Ah, I'm sorry... I thought when you wrote this:
You were essentially asking him to go from Manager Mode to Founder Mode... I didn't realise you were talking historically. Thanks for clarifying.
Cheers! As I said the two modes doesn’t have to be mutually exclusive. Balancing the two is difficult but good CEOs champions that balance frequently
Yes
Good q
Haha
