However, a fruitful startup does need a focussed team with a vision which is well-aligned. It would be my argument that this vision should be articulated in sharp technical rather than fluffy marketing terms. Reply to this
Can you confirm the commandment based on experience? Have you been in a situation where the development of vision was approached in a democratic manner?
I disagree with your false dichotomy preferring technical aspects above marketing aspects. The most important department in any company is sales. No income: no technology and no marketing.
My suggestion to you is to grow your respect for multi-disciplinary approaches by taken on non-technical roles.
If you are able to get over your technology myopia without doing this, it would be great to see you truely excel in technology yet convey respect to people with skills that complement yours. In this regards, I do encourage you to review commandment 1 once more. As a true servant leader, I quote it here for your convenience: "Get over your stunning brilliance and realize that execution matters more."
Execution of a vision following an evolutionary approach requires a symbiotic collaboration between marketing and technology.
Your dictator attempts to cover both aspects in his daily work, but is now looking to grow his following with marketing and technology co-processors. Reply to this
