Life experiences as a Startup Manager: In one of my past teams, we had a colleague who always delivered when the stakes were highest. Naturally, I leaned on him more often for critical work. Soon, whispers of “favoritism” started. This allegation even reached the HR and during a casual catch-up, I was asked this same question i.e. if I'm giving more opportunities to this resource. My response was simple... Instead of calling it favoritism, why don't they ask “What do I need to do to become the person the manager trusts with responsibilities? Also, I had the productivity metrics in hand to show the resource's capabilities. Here’s the truth: every leader depends on reliability. When you know someone will deliver without excuses, they become your go-to. Not because you like them more, but because they help the entire team move forward. in short, “Favoritism” is the easiest accusation a manager can face. But let me tell you backing your best performer is not bias, it’s survival. #TheStartupManager

Being smart does not make you a manager. The ability to convince does. Especially in a startup, it is influence that determines who leads and who stays stuck taking orders. #Thestartupmanager

Do successful startup founders spread fake emotional stories about their background, claiming they had hard times? Sometimes, do they try to become like Abraham Lincoln? True or False?
