Banks used to pay poorly and give huge titles to their officers. Bit of the same sometimes. Bit of t ball mentality — everybody gets a hit, nobody is ever out, everyone gets on base, nobody keeps score, both teams win, and then you go out for ice cream.

At the top, it is essential to discriminate amongst founders, first tier management hires, and equity recipients.

The titles are like throw aways (for the CEOs).

A little weird.

Try to give people what they want without looking like a meat head. It’s called the Meat Head Test.

Seems like a recent development. Everyone gets a trophy.

Tom —

You ARE a CEO. You are the CEO of you. Right now.

One day soon, you may be the CEO of something else but you will always be the CEO of you.

Good luck. Godspeed. Good CEOing on ya, Tom!

That’s my approach currently. I have to imagine if you are a startup CEO, this information is priceless. Thanks!
