I start things. It’s how I’m wired up. I get bored with managing and maintaining things. I can do it, but it’s not what fuels me.
If you need someone to start something like a new business, a new team, a new project, a new culture shift, don’t hire a manager or a maintainer. Hire a starter that has experience starting things.
If you need someone to execute an established plan, care for an existing team, maintain a completed project, steward an established culture, don’t hire a starter. Hire a manager that has experience managing things.
