This is one of those essays where I'm not 100% sure of the conclusions — I'll have to put it to practice before I can say for certain.

But there *does* seem to be a tension between 'handholding' ICs, and 'throwing execs into the deep end', and it seems productive to investigate.

One thing that I'm actively chewing over: perhaps 'throwing people into the deep end' is simply a pedagogical thing, but for high potential hires.

Oh, before I forget: hat tip to @NeckarValue for writing the best deep dive on Barry Diller I've read.

Part two, members only, is here: neckar.substack.com/p/barry-diller…
