The Grit They Don't Teach in Startups In every startup, you’ll notice two types of people. First, there’s the loud rebel, mostly a mid-senior. The one who questions every decision, challenges every idea, and refuses to follow the norm. They get noticed… but not always in the way they hope. Then, there’s the quiet follower, the Yes man. Always agreeable, always “on board.” Avoids conflict, but also avoids impact. Comfortable in their corner, but largely invisible. I remember a colleague who rarely spoke in meetings but always had a knack for dropping the right insight at the right moment. Nobody saw the prep, the late-night research, or the careful thought behind it. Yet when it mattered, his point shifted the entire discussion and... everyone listened. That’s the gritty influence test. You quietly learn when to push, when to stand with the team, when to wait. And then, you evolve, adapt, and scale higher than anyone expected. The fact: Startups don't reward blind rebels or followers. #TheStartupManager
