Want to expand infinitely as CEO or VP? The secret

Question

OnChainSleuth · Accepted Answer

Really, the Web3 circle's bunch of self-deceiving CEOs crack me up. They say they want to hire strong people, but in reality, they're just hiring obedient ones.

That's right, but most people simply can't do it... their self-awareness is so low.

The financing cycle being disrupted is just the surface; the real loss is the window of opportunity for the entire track, brother.

I completely agree, but the reality is that most founders would rather have a useless person who can flatter than someone more capable than themselves.

I've seen too many counterexamples of this logic; a rotten team is how it's destroyed.

Oh yes, the talent ceiling—that's why top projects and second-tier projects have such a huge gap.

Honestly, most entrepreneurs are actually timid; they simply can't let go of that ego.

FrogInTheWell · Answer

Really, this is now the most profound lesson in Web3. I've seen too many projects fail because they initially hired a few "obedient" VPs, and it just ended badly.

Hiring is essentially looking for the opposite of a mirror; you need to hire someone who can challenge you.

The financing cycle getting stuck is so true—if one decision-maker isn't capable, the entire rhythm falls apart.

But on the other hand, few dare to hire a CEO stronger than themselves... most still want to maintain control.

That's why the gap between top projects and second- or third-tier projects widens so quickly.

Oh no, hiring people who are worse than yourself is just digging a hole for the company.

Web3 is so competitive and still engaging in internal conflicts? Just give up.

A bad executive can ruin the entire funding cycle, it's terrifying to think about.

Well said. How many projects have failed in Web3 because of poor management...

---

Hiring people who are worse than yourself will eventually cost you.

---

That's why those ambitious founders often end up crashing; they simply can't tell who can beat whom.

---

Really, I've seen a slow decision-making VP delay the entire fundraising process by half a year.

---

On the other hand, think about how strong you need to be to manage those who are even stronger... that hurdle isn't something everyone can cross.

---

The biggest shortage in Web3 isn't ideas, but people who can execute and leaders brave enough to hire those who surpass them.

---

Many people get stuck at the point of "I'm the founder, I make the rules," it's hilarious.

---

The metaphor of the ceiling of the echelon is brilliant, hitting right at the pain point.

---

No wonder some projects, despite raising funds, never grow big; it's all management limiting imagination.

MetadataExplorer · Answer

Really, in Web3, almost 80% of the projects fail due to a "one-man rule" management style.

Hiring is limited by the CEO's vision, that hits hard.

That's true, but the real problem is where to find someone better than yourself... that's the real challenge.

I agree, I've seen too many teams miss out on opportunities because their core management held them back.

However, this logic is even more applicable in the crypto space; if project teams truly decentralized authority... it wouldn't be in this state now.

LiquidityWitch · Answer

nah this is literally just alchemy in disguise—hiring stronger people = transmuting your own limitations into protocol alpha. most founders can't handle it tho, their ego becomes the cursed LP position nobody wants to touch.

Want to expand infinitely as CEO or VP? The secret is simple: hire people who are better than you. This is not humility, but a hard truth.
