17 Traits That Distinguish TheBest Startup CEOs

Getty ImagesBloomberg

AirBnB CEO and co-founder Brian Chesky

Three out of four startups fail and a full 90 of those in the tech sector dont survive

The startups that become successful typically require exceptional leadership mdash and a

lot of luck

In a recent Quora thread users answered the question What separates the top 10

of startup CEOs from the rest

Robert Scoble renowned blogger and analyst for Rackspace gave a definitive

answer based on his extensive experience with CEOs and others jumped in to share

some thoughts Well look at some highlights including all nine of Scobles leadership

traits

According to Scoble an elite startup CEO

1 [Is] good at hiring AND firing Whenever you find a really great CEO you find

someone who has a knack for hiring That means selling other people on your dream

or your business Especially when it doesnt seem all that important or seems very

risky I used to work for a CEO who was awesome at hiring but couldnt fire anyone

Doomed the business Many of the best CEOs get others to follow no matter what

2 Builds a culture not just a company The best CEOs like Tony Hsieh at Zappos

build a culture that gives everyone a mission They stand out in a sea of boring

companies

3 Listens and acts Many CEOs want to tell you what they are doing but the best

ones listen to feedback and even do something with that feedback My favorites

even give credit back Mike McCue CEO of Flipboard tells audiences that I was

responsible for a couple of key features

382014 17 Traits That Distinguish The Best Startup CEOs - Yahoo Finance

httpfinanceyahoocomnews17-traits-distinguish-best-startup-162238137html 24

4 Is resilient AirBnB took 1000 days for its business to start working Imagine if they

gave up on day 999 The best CEOs find a way to dig in and keep going even when it

seems everything is going against them

5 Has vision Lets be honest There are a lot of nice CEOs but if you dont have the

ability to build a product that matters to people then no one will remember your name

Can you see a way to make billions with wearable computers I guarantee some can

and they are the CEOs who will bring me interesting new products

6 Stays focused A friend who worked for Steve Jobs told me that what really made

him different is that Jobs wouldnt let teams move off their tasks until they really

finished them

7 Speaks clearly A great CEO is clear crisp concise Quotable So many people

just arent good at telling a story in a way thats easy to remember The best are

awesome at this Since its the CEOs job to tell the companys story its extremely

important that this person be able to clearly tell a story about the company and the

product

8 Is a customer advocate The best CEOs understand deeply what customers want

and when they are making anti-customer choices

9 [Is] good at convincing other people CEOs have to deal with conflicting interest

groups Customers often want something investors dont So a good CEO is really

great at convincing other people to get on board even at changing peoples opinions

Now well summarize some of the other best answers with our own numbers added

Mark Suster a venture capitalist at GRP Partners and a former entrepreneur thinks

the best type of startup CEO

10 Pays attention to detail Someone in charge of an early stage business needs

to be hands on in every aspect of the business from the financial side to the design

side

11 Is skilled at adapting to change The best entrepreneurs are able to adjust their

product and business model to unexpected changes in the market and consumer

demand

12 Can make decisions quickly and on their own Corporate executives often

have the benefits of time and extensive analysis before making a business decision

but entrepreneurs need to deal with a deluge of choices every day

13 Is intensely competitive Elite startup CEOs wants to win major deals acquire

the best employees and sign up every partner mdash all at the expense of the

competition

Other Quora users experienced in the startup world also weighed in Theyve seen

that the greatest kind of entrepreneur

14 Is courageous Every entrepreneur needs to have at least some significant

amount of courage to start a business but the best ones are brave enough to stand

out make enemies (if they have to) and make unpopular decisions mdashTolis

Dimopoulos

15 Doesnt micro-manage While great entrepreneurs influence every aspect of

their companies they find ways to build machines that can deliver results on scale

mdashHenning Moe

16 Never stops executing his vision Startup CEOs shouldnt trust that others will

stay true to their vision without their constant influence at least for the companys first

few years mdashHenning Moe
