If The Shoe Fits: Real or Not
by Miki Saxon
A Friday series exploring Startups and the people who make them go. Read all If the Shoe Fits posts here.
Why is it that founders who start out by claiming they want to stand against evil, just connect people, give people a new way to earn, or in some way make the world a better place, so often morph, to be polite, into jerks?
Money? Power? Drinking their own media Kool-Aid?
All of the above?
Or is it that, as opposed to morphing, given the right circumstances, even if transient, they always were jerks?
People, especially in our age of self-branding, work hard creating their image, so when considering it, caveat emptor.
Because what you see ain’t necessarily what you get.
Hat tip to KG for sending me the quote.
