Founder & CEO is kinda a BS title

This article frames these roles in nearly comically overstated way. I disagree with the framing entirely. Great CEO's do much more than "executing diligently" as he suggests, and great Founders are much more than idea machines "flooding with new ideas".

As is the case with all leaders, they need to have more than one mode. You cannot succeed over the long term with a single mode, regardless of what that mode is.
