But the purpose of this post is what happens when a founder (or large company CEO) finds a better business model. I wonder if the greater challenge for many CEOs is recognizing that customers need to be fired at all. Let’s Fire Our Customers « Steve Blank (tags: product-management startup business) [.]

Decision Making Heuristics for the Startup CEO The heuristic I gave my friend was to think of decisions of having two states: those that are reversible and those that are irreversible. Not just for the CEO or the exec staff, but for the entire company. Too often, CEOs and small business managers suffer from analysis paralysis.

Most startups put together a corporate mission statement because the CEO remembered seeing one at their last job, or the investors said they needed one. The first reaction from my CEO was, “that’s why you’re running the department.” What I’m about to describe here is quite different. on April 10, 2009 at 6:58 am Said: Amazing blog.

We’ve designed this Scorecard and it’s currently being built, but in the meantime I wanted to get feedback from CEOs and VCs on the feature design. So, for example, the CEO could have a base salary of $190K and be in the 30th percentile, while a VP of Engineering could have the same $190K salary and be in the 90th percentile.
