Yes. Gotta have an exhilaration for risk, (healthy?) competition, be an “idea” person who is driven by curiosity and the need for being challenged. But most of all?? An uncompromising taste for Glory. One that will not go unmet.
This is why straight A students often do not make amazing business owners. Risk is reckless, and completely out of your hands once the dice has been thrown. I couldn’t live any other way.
I'm a strong believer that non-founders can (and very often, should) operate with a founder-like mindset to create unique, outsized impact in the organization. For those that resonate with these idea, I find this post to be a really useful one in breaking down founder-like traits that you might aspire to develop and demonstrate yourself, as a non-founder. This is particularly relevant if you are in a XFN leadership role like PM, GM, etc.
