Founders

I was catching up with a founder friend of mine last night. This is what he said his life is like. 

"Being a CEO is about running from crisis to crisis with a smile on your face – no light at the end of the tunnel – got to enjoy the process, there is no destination. Every level there is a new challenge” 

Does this resonate, or is he unique?

Your friend is not unique. Every day at Apple was about solving one crisis after another. Remember the antenna issue with the iPhone 4? We had to thrive under pressure and deliver. That's the reality of leadership. Embrace it or get out.
