Our leaders completed the program knowing, not guessing, what was expected of them, as leaders of their teams and as models for our entire organization. We managed university budget cuts with grace; we had far less turn over than the university as a whole and even lower than national averages for the same job categories.

As a leader and manager, it is quite likely at some point during your career that you will encounter employees with personal problems. New managers often carry a naive belief that the personal issues of employees are irrelevant to their performance on the job and something that can be ignored. But that would be in a perfect world.

2013 had all the signs of being a comeback year for venture capital. Yet 2013 annual industry performance data from Cambridge Associates shows that venture capital continues to underperform the S&P 500, NASDAQ and Russell 2000. LPs pay VCs like asset managers, not investors. The larger the fund, the larger the fee stream.

Growing a midsized firm takes a top team with zero weak links. But building a consistently strong top leadership team is difficult for at least three reasons: the tendency to be loyal to existing members, the lack of management depth to promote from, and many CEOs’ lack of experience in many functional areas.
