Thanks for reading and thoughtful comment. I actually do see quite a lot of technical founders in my work who really don’t understand their market as well as they should because they don’t listen well enough to customers. Too often they are pushing a technology so hard they develop tunnel vision. That said, you are right, I cannot make an argument in those situations that the board knows the market better. And your point is well taken; often a purely ‘hired gun’ CEO can truly be a disaster.
