Treat Your CEOs Like Children (Your Own)

You might get the feeling from the title of this post that you’re about to read a glib post about how VCs should treat their CEOs like kids. Just the opposite in fact. Recently, I received a phone call from one my CEOs. He had a particularly difficult problem that he was trying to sort out, and wanted someone to help him see the forest through the trees. It was the type of problem that a CEO would usually never share with his VC (nothing to gain from sharing if he could deal with it internally). He explained the challenge he was facing and we spent a good deal of time discussing some options on how he might deal with it. I’m pretty sure that I even gave him a few ideas that he hadn’t thought of.
