The Hard Thing About Hard Things
Why I recommend it
Horowitz is honest about leading when every choice has a cost. Running a company can be lonely and uncertain, even with good advice.
What it changed in my thinking
Sometimes the familiar approach stops working. We still have to face the situation, decide, and tell people the truth.
Who it’s useful for
Founders and leaders making difficult decisions about people or a company’s future.
A tension or limitation
The intensity of venture-backed tech isn’t universal. Constant crisis shouldn’t become the standard for leadership.
