What's the #1 quality a founder needs to succeed?
by
Molly Pitburg
Grit? People skills? What's the #1 quality a founder needs to succeed?
Perseverance! I’m convinced that most companies fail, not because the idea was bad, but because the founders gave up.
I think it's grid/persistence, I think most people fail because they give up.
Adaptability.
To understand that there is no #1 quality. It's a mix of a hundred things. Vision without grit is nothing. Direction without project management skills is nothing. Failing without the ability to learn is nothing.
Clear Vision
Being a fast learner
To remember their ‘Why’. Often the ‘What’ is always center.
