The founder team needs to identify "Moses" as soon as possible

&http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/37954.html ">nbsp; In the previous lecture, I said that the founders had better be "double-male" or "Three Musketeers", which meant that a good founder team would ideally be a combination of two to three people. Shortly after publication, a friend of the @ Urban Antelope said: "The double will also not be ' equal, ' preferably a strong one weak;" The Three Musketeers Best is ' a hero two help ', cannot be pillars. Entrepreneurship needs to be played and determined, too balanced and easy to lose combat. ”

This friend is very right, this is the "Old week lectures" to talk about. A good founder team is better than two or three people, but they should have a dislocation in the Division of labor, and must have a person to act as the leader of the whole founder team.

This leader of the founder's team is the person who leads the company's direction and is the final decision-maker. If the decision is wrong, then he is also the most responsible person. This leader as Moses, who led the Israelites out of ancient Egypt to the promised Land of God. Jobs was the leader of Moses. He returned to Apple, led the Apple out of the trough, towards today's glory. The leader may not have the title of CEO or chairman, but whatever his position, he is the undisputed leader of this enterprise and the soul of the whole company.

The founder team must have a person to bear the pressure of the leader. The pressure on the second person is very different. Since someone assumes this responsibility, leads this enterprise, also obtains everybody's approval, then certainly must say clearly, clearly he is the company "leader".

I think the sooner the leader confirms the better, the sooner the better. After confirming the leader, in the division of shares, to this "leader" to have a focus, he shares more than others.

This is true of many Silicon Valley companies. Apple was the first two founders, Wozniak and Steve Jobs. Wozniak is a technical Daniel, but Jobs says I'm more than you, and I'm going to have more equity than you. From the point of view of the Chinese people, we would think that Steve Jobs was a bully Wozniak the honest man. Also, it was Bill Gates and Paul Allen who worked together as Microsoft. Bill Gates told Paul Allen: "My contribution to this business must be bigger than yours." So my stake is twice times that of yours. Paul Allen agreed. It turns out that Apple and Microsoft are going to be bigger, and that the real thing is jobs and Bill Gates.

According to the characteristics of the Chinese people, everyone cares about the interests, but everyone is ashamed to say. Although embarrassed to say, but the mind will think, so the psychological will become more and more unbalanced. So, from the beginning of the company, "warn" should be said in front. In China, I have seen a lot of founding team, we are embarrassed to say it, but everyone in their hearts. If it's five good brothers, the shares are divided equally, everyone is 20%. It seems fair, but it's not fair because everyone has different abilities. This method of splitting shares has sown the seeds of disagreement from the outset. People who are capable think: I am more capable than they are, but why shares are the same as everyone else? A person who is incapable may think: I can muddle through and eat this equity. If not handled well, this kind of conflict will erupt, can cause the company to collapse.

Therefore, to "leader" relatively many shares, at the beginning may be mistaken for "selfish, not loyal", but in the long run, the company is a great advantage.

But then again, people are not immutable. Early qualified leader, in the future may not be qualified, may not keep up with the situation dragged the company's hind legs. We should not regard the state of the start-up period as the final state of the enterprise. Some 920.html "> Enterprise Development to later, if leader can not play the role of leadership, people think change, then how to do?" There are two methods, the first one being decided by the board of Directors. The second can let VC to do the staff.

Last but not the same: first, the founder team, do not share the shares from the beginning. Second, to reach a consensus, the company has to set aside a portion of shares for the future, divided into the backbone of the later, so that the enterprise to set aside a future space for development.
