We all know the drill with "Manager Mode"-hire great people, give them space, and manage through layers. Itโs the classic approach, polished and perfected in business schools. But hereโs the catch: it often leaves room for what I like to call โprofessional fakersโโpeople who excel at managing up but might not actually drive the company forward. "Founder Mode"? Now thatโs a whole different beast. Itโs raw, itโs hands-on, and it breaks the so-called rules. Youโre not just engaging with direct reports; youโre in the trenches, holding skip-level meetings, and sometimes challenging the very structure youโve built. Think Steve Jobs-having those intense retreats with the top 100 at Apple, ensuring the companyโs pulse was felt at every level. Founders are often told to "step back" and "let the professionals handle it." But hereโs the thing: many VCs or executives without founding experience might not truly understand what it takes to lead from the front, especially when itโs your vision.
