Something that’s missing from this analysis, I feel like, is this:
There needs to be a passionate owner. A technical leader who understands customers and their needs, understands what’s technically possible, and has the imagination to connect those two things.
I don’t know what you call that person, but it sure helps if he’s got a c in front of his name. CTO, CPO, whatever.
This something the article kinda glosses over, but maybe shouldn’t.
(I’m not sure if this person is great for the CEO role, by the way, just because of how freaking busy the CEO tends to be. There’s too much for her to do to also fulfill this role.)
