In a VC business when you raise additional capital you need to “level up” and act the round you are. I’d say 20% of startups I see level-up early after their A round. These are important leveling-up activities but the CEO is often still up at 10pm f **g around with QuickBooks entries.

However, when aspiring leaders ask me how to ramp up their emotional intelligence, I’ve never been able to offer any real formula. Always assume positive intent, stay present, be open-minded, actively listen, the thank the person for their feedback. Barriers open up new possibilities, which themselves will likely have barriers.

A large part of this conversation is what kinds of advisors startups should be looking for. A little while ago, I suggested that Every Web/Mobile Startup Should Have a Technical Advisor. We both felt that most startups are not taking a very systematic approach to defining with they need in terms of advisors. Connected Advisors?

Phrases like “holding people accountable” imply negative consequences or punishment, rather than rewards or providing the freedom and coaching to team members to choose their own actions, and pursue what matters most to them. It’s up to you to build that relationship by listening to their needs and concerns, and offering help where you can.

For example, you must forego the traditional meeting approach, where a team member presents a slide deck with all the background and multiple solution options on an issue, and asks you for a decision. For one-on-one coaching from the startup founder, I call this approach five-minute mentoring. Marty Zwilling.

I’ve found that you can best start by asking for another perspective, whether of yourself or a team member. If you're asking someone else and wish to build that connection, be actively present during the interaction. Diversity and inclusion will get you started. Really seek to understand the other person.

You need to use active listening to unlock the underlying causes, and start giving your best encouragement and mentoring. Watch especially for uncharacteristic new habits, such as working late nights or weekends, as well as really negative indications, including showing up to work late, taking long lunches, and leaving early.

We all like to think of startups as “non hierarchic&# organizations and to some extent that should be true. I see two common mistakes in companies (not just in startups, in fact). By going on sales calls you pick up directly the feedback of what customers want and also what they’re telling you about competition.

I may be old fashioned, but the term consultant still conjures up an image of a self-proclaimed expert who can make great presentations, generate recommendations and leave you to do the hard work of implementation. Startups need outside experts who can do the work, as well as provide training on what needs to be done.

For early-stage startups, the goodwill component can easily exceed the size of all the financial elements together, or can just as easily mark a company with good financials as not investable. For startups, the entrepreneur and founder is almost always the face of the company. Execution leadership. Leadership brand development.
