Care deeply about the mission, but loosen your grip on each outcome. When personal attachment turns every result into a judgment, founders become reactive and lose the objectivity needed to make sound decisions.
A founder’s emotional posture shapes the company. Separating commitment from attachment improves judgment, steadies leadership, and makes it easier to change course when the evidence demands it.
Before your next high-stakes decision, ask: “If I did not need this particular outcome to validate me, what would the evidence tell me to do?”
