The Wise Exec Knows How Little They Know


"The only reason we're in this spot is my own incompetence." This is a quote from...



...one of my clients.



We were at breakfast discussing


one of many highly challenging circumstances


he partners with me to help him chart a path through.



What you should know about him:



→ Cofounder & COO of a tech enterprise


→ Truly innovative (really, no one does what they do)


→ Brought the biz to a VERY successful exit



He's far from incompetent,


yet he wasn't being superficially humble.



He meant it: 


he made some bad moves,


completely avoidable fumbles, 


self-inflicted wounds impacting many.



WE. ALL. DO.


__________________________



This guy has more experience and proven success


than many of the CEOs and execs I come across.



Yet...


he's willing to admit how little he knows.


(and not just to me).



THIS is why I'll invest 


in the business he's building next.


__________________________




and know you don't have it all figured out,


need someone you can openly admit that to,


so you can get to work on strategizing a path forward...



▶️ REACH OUT ◀️



and we can discuss what it looks like


to work with an independent Operating Partner


like myself or one of my (X)Form adjunct OPs.
