In this brief monologue, Steve Suggs observes that entrepreneurs tend to be self‑made, self‑driven, and self‑accountable, and they often assume that everyone else shares these traits. Because they feel they don’t need external accountability, they may fail to hold employees accountable, projecting their own entrepreneurial biography onto others. He notes that this mindset can lead to hiring only those who mirror the entrepreneur’s own drive—typically “agent aspirants”—which further reinforces the lack of accountability structures within the organization.

Chapters

Entrepreneurs are individuals who are somewhat self-made. They're self-driven. They're self-starters. They typically didn't need accountability to get to where they are. They were accountable to themselves and they make the assumption that everybody else is just like them. And you're hiring individuals. The only time that you might hire somebody who's just like you is if you hire an agent aspirant. And so one reason that they don't hold people accountable is they, they don't feel like they have to hold themselves accountable, so they read their biography into the life of everybody else.
