I won't say it's a must for a founder to be business competent but then it would be a lot better if he or she did. All they have to do is get someone who is business competent on their team who is business competent and I think that works too.

okay! I'm not sure if I understand your POV, but I think I do. It isn't a must for a founder to be business competent, I mean, that's if he/she doesn't want to grow and improve. However, if a founder wants to grow and improve, it is a must to be business competent (just my opinion.)
I think putting it in context will help. As a founder that means you are competent at something but might not really be in business, the best thing to do is start working with someone who is business competent and from there you can grow. I see cases like this before, so never say since you are not business competent you can't be a founder
Yea, I kind of agree with your take on this, if the founder isn't competent in the business aspect, hiring someone who is would bridge that gap and enhance the progress of the project moving forward.
That's right, the founder is human after all not some AI or something. It's totally fine to hire someone better than him in that regards to work with and in the process of working with them he can as well learn from them
Hmm, I won’t say it’s a must also but as a founder which can also make you be seen as a leader, it is a must for you to be business competent, you can’t just leave all the hard work to your partner or workers every time, lead by example.
Well,I still go with what I said because I've seen several times when a founder is not good at something but has competent hands to fill in for his incompetence and with time he became competent because he seeked for help. He's a man not a robot, he can always learn on the job
Okay boss
Lol
Good morning Foxy
I agree with you, it's good for a founder to have a level of business competence and tthen get one or two people who are competent in business in the management team.
With the efforts of the team put together, the business will grow.
That's right, as a founder of something you'd definitely have a good knowledge of it normally so getting more people to work with will boost your capabilities even more.
I think it's actually a must for a founder to be competent in the business and trust me I am speaking from experience. Having someone in your team might not actually work out well most times but knowing about your business matters alot.
You're the founder so you surely know what you founded but going further, you can't know it all and when you have someone who is specialized on what you are not so good at, you as a founder will get to learn from them and get better from there.
But like I said, it's better if a founder is business competent
I actually wrote something about this sometime ago. Maybe I will share the link to you so you would read through
I think it's all about putting it into perspective though, there are some cases when it is a must you be business competent as a founder but there are other cases when it is fine to learn on the job
