No, not at all. Not to public, just responsibility to the team. In my chapter on recovering from failures, I use the analogy of learning how to ride a bike.
And one lesson that I have learned is that we tend to over-compensate (we fell on the right, therefore we now lean on the left). So you criticism is valid here in that I am clearly overstating because I am overcompensating ... again, guilty as charged.
On the other hand, there is another analogy here which is that of orthodontics ... braces would be an overstatement too if we start with perfect teeth.
So the question really has to do with the intended audience.
Are first-time entrepreneurs such blank sheets of paper that after reading my article, they will deviate from the path and start to focus on making money instead of making meaning?
Or are first-time entrepreneurs such enthusiasts that they are already focusing on changing the World, but after reading the article, they realize that in order to make meaning, they have a responsibility to keep the team together which means that they also have a responsibility to make money.
And since everyone else is already focusing on making meaning, is it reasonable that entrepreneurs have to overcompensate and put a priority on making money?
Thanks for your comment and another opportunity to have a discussion.
