So true, Thubten! Unfortunately, the hardest thing for most entrepreneurs to do is trust others with this their baby as well as identify their strengths and weaknesses so to delegate effectively.
I did a lot of executive searches where the business owner was almost there - knowing (or being forced by VCs) to build a real executive team only to chicken out at the end when the clear top candidates were in final due diligence. That is when our job got tough - keeping the visionary in the visionary role for real and trusting others to run the company.
It is easy for entrepreneurs to say they need to surround themselves with great people - the successful do it over and over again!
