Exerting old-fashioned command & control leadership will inhibit entrepreneurial growth and stunt the very thing you wish to achieve - more, bigger startup companies.
Those of us who have been in business or government a long time develop fantastic muscles around strong management of which exhibiting a control over execution and outcomes is the standard fare.
But startup communities are different and the very thing that you desire as a leader (a detailed plan, a flawless execution strategy, and a clear set of goals) are the things that will hamper entrepreneurial growth.
We call this the illusion of control and today we talk about the concept, why it is counter-productive, and share a different approach more conducive to entrepreneurs.
Join Brad, Ian and Chris along with Ben Milne of Des Moines, Iowa and Bob Sopko of Cleveland, Ohio as we wrestle with this critical but touchy subject.
