Wow! Didn't realize I was so smelly. I do shower everyday, though. I do fit all the smells and hope that @SocialGrow and @ReferralBonus are successful because of my experience.

Being a start-up CEO that has sought and obtained venture capital and then turned the time and resources it afforded into success I would agree with your unique comments on “smell” . However, I find the reference to administrator for this CEO-type off mark.

Interesting information about start-up CEO's. While I've never been in a position to lend venture capital, I have been part of the group asking for that same capital. Although I wasn't the CEO, I can certainly see how a potential venture capitalist lender could classify a start-up CEO into one of those categories. In my case, I'm not sure where which category our CEO fell into.

Good article! I don't know that much about executive psychology and this was an interesting read.

Really enjoy the article, thanks. I also wrote about my own experience about being the Founder/CEO of startups and a lot of what I have learned is consistent with your observation. http://www.StartupForLess.com Thanks again. –Denny– Denny K Miu
