Founder Profile
authenticity
Candor in admitting mistakes—and showing authentic self-reflection—often can signal future success. Willingness to "be vulnerable in a way that's authentic tells you a lot about somebody's character." To underscore his point, Grouf uses the metaphor of a foxhole. "If you're in the foxhole fighting it out, a grenade rolls in, you want the person with the best arm picking it up, not the person who wants to prove that they have the best arm to throw that grenade out." 1st
