A batch of the best highlights from what Edwin's read, .
Sometimes employees may come to you with job offers or potential offers from other quarters. It is striking how some people will consider offers that are inferior or unsuited to their skills and work ethic. “I want to see you leave this institution for a better offer than that—and you will!” is sometimes the message you need to send them. That too is an instance of raising their aspirations. Don’t assume that your best and most productive workers actually know what they are capable of, because very often they do not and need nudging in the right direction to realize their full potential.

Co-founder issues are one of the biggest risks for startups for a reason — breakups are very common. Many companies suffer because people stay with the wrong co-founder too long for the wrong reasons — i.e. they are friends, relatives, or spouses and even if you see all the signals that you should break, you may be tempted to ignore them because “it’s supposed to work” or having the “break up” conversation awkward.
