    The most successful founders work for the company, rather than the company working for them.

        @paulg this is true for all senior management, should not hire execs who think otherwise

        @paulg A founder's role is not unlike that of a parent's; what you do sets the tone for everyone, otherwise it's a broken co/family.

        @paulg carver David Esterly has a line on this: "start as a god, end as a slave." At t=0 lots of options/paths; at t=1+n, the work owns you

        @paulg Based on this and L. Jackson's tweet... Should founders run a personal blog or put it all on the company's?
