Get involved with non-profits where CEOs serve on the board, attend their galas and events, and get to know the leadership.

I see this in cases where sometimes board members don’t want to take on the “Pottery Barn Rule” that if you break it, you fix it. While everybody can easily point at VCs or board members and accuse them of being meddlers, the same is actually true of many CEOs. It sets the wrong culture. CEO’s beware.

As somebody who has seen the shift from Innovation to Systematization many times I can tell you that culturally it is very hard for organizations.

A good early-stage CEO needs to be accessible, to be accountable for producing results and should be establishing the cultural norms of the company through direct leadership at all levels. But it sets the wrong culture. I’m not a big believer in too much hierarchy. But issues do arise as your company grows.
