This theory has become so influential that I have called it one of the three pillars of the lean startup - every bit as important as the changes in technology or the advent of agile development. I highly recommend this book for all entrepreneurs, in startups as well as in big companies. Very few startups fail for lack of technology.

By far the most important thing you want to hire for in a startup is the ability to handle the unexpected. Those people also tend to go crazy in a startup. The "lone wolf" superstar is usually a disaster in a team context, and startups are all about teams. Still, a startup product development team is a service organization.
