It helps when you own the business, no? Unless people you know are all founders who happen to like frequent time off.



“Helps” is a funny term. Probably a) “has to as a last line of defense” or b) “can’t reasonably ask anyone else because it’s after hours etc” or c) it’s high conscientiousness.

This probably won’t fly over very well on hacker news but the academic literature on CEOs and their work ethic, even down to physiological changes in their blood/saliva related to cortisol, suggests they work hard in general and make many sacrifices.


I actually cant think of a site where that would fly better, except machiavelli-suntzu-successwin-business-genius.org
