Perhaps you need to do more to be a role model for accountability , and provide more coaching on exactly what it means. I often think of the scope of this example in my role as mentor to a struggling entrepreneur who is quick to blame his problems on employee mistakes, or even changing customer expectations.

When I heard a friend and business mentor say, “Your startup won’t fail if you don’t quit,” I realized that every entrepreneur should adopt “never give up” as their mantra. Of course, they may be out of money as well, but that is often more of an “excuse” than a reason. So why do most startups fail?

Your role is to provide this enablement, through listening to their needs, and providing personal coaching and mentoring as required.

In addition, today’s customers judge a company by perceived people relationships through social media, phone conversations, and sales experiences. Of course, some balance is required.

That’s why I’m impressed with the classic book, “ All Dreams on Deck: Charting the Course for Your Life and Work ,” by Jeremy Cage. The business world doesn’t thrive with yet another social media or dating site – it’s begging for paradigm shifts in the technology or business model. Venture where no business has gone before.

In my years of mentoring and advising business leaders, I find that real planning for the future always gets the short shrift. Due to social media and the Internet, these relationships now need to extend to customers, partners, and suppliers. Historically, organizations played down the role of work-based personal relationships.

And Coach Campbell. I’ve heard directly from top executives that Jeff Bezos (in my opinion the most talented person in the tech industry) has received his fair share of VC coaching in the early years. And hard for me to imagine the Fred Wilson and Albert Wenger weren’t instrumental mentors to David. I create videos.
