By Mike Myatt , Chief Strategy Officer, N2growth. Leadership is about leading. Leadership is a 24-7-365 endeavor. In fact, I’d go so far as to say the best leaders view what they do as a calling and not just a job. If you’re a leader, what you do in public or private, in silence or in word, or in thought and in deed will be observed, evaluated and critiqued – count on it.

Using my StartupRoar as a radar, I came across a great post by Gabriel Weinberg Do you really need a full-time hire for that? Hiring seems to be the preferred use of seed funds (by investors and founders), whereas I'd prefer a focus on customer acquisition.

This oversight is clearly expressed through the effective management of an executive or manager’s assigned budget. In many cases, this budget includes revenue generation as well as expenditures.
