Leadership is the ability to get people to follow you

"Leadership is the ability to get people to follow you, if only out of curiosity." Ben Horowitz says there's not a single canonical type of founder-CEO. "Look at Mark Zuckerberg and Ali Ghodsi and Elon Musk — they're all extremely different types of people." "There's a few things in common. One is, anybody great really thinks for themselves, so they don't feel like they're reading the room or influenced by what I'm gonna say." "Would I want to work for this person? Like, how interesting are they?" "If you can't hire the very, very top talent, then you're very unlikely to be a great company." @bhorowitz with @bhalligan
