You keep speaking of "it". I have had experience with "it". Sometimes it turns out that "It" is this very scary clown show that percolates down into the rest of the organization in a "cover your ass" mentality that is simply based on nothing but personal incentives to not be fired. "It" can indeed be percolated by clowns in the organization in this case.


It could also be survivorship bias. It's easy for a successful founder to say he or she felt it but couldn't describe it, but maybe it was just luck.

I don't know -- I've never worked at a strongly founder-driven company. I'm just trying to figure out what the essay means.
