不同的人适合不同的公司，不同的人适合不同阶段的公司。有人天生就喜欢创业，有人愿意按流程做事；有人善于单兵作战，有人喜欢团队配合。

如果错位，对于公司和个人都没有好处，如果看好他，等待合适的时机，使用他。尤其对于创业企业来说，太多的不确定性，对于在大公司干得很出色和成功的人来说，未必能够有发挥的空间。倒不如等一切明朗之后，也来得急。

前一段有一个早期项目，团队方面不是很强，为了融资的需要，聘请了新CEO，曾在海外大公司做过高管，明显感觉对创业企业的文化还有一定的隔阂，短时间内也不容易跟现有团队有很好的配合，仓促上阵辅助融资，很难起到太好效果的。对他本人来说，放弃很好的机会，拿创业企业的期权/股权，也是有很大不确定性的。

Timing of joining a start up company

by Andy Sack

I was on the phone with the CEO of one of the companies I have an investment in last week. We were talking about the timing of hiring a new VP of Sales. We had talked to this candidate 2 years ago and for a number of reasons it wasn't the right time for him to join the company.  At that time, the company had a lot of organizational, management and business development that it needed to do -- in some respects, the candidate was more mature than the company was at that time. Well, now may be different. We've re-engaged the hiring conversation with him (we never really lost touch) and are actively discussing him joining the company. I think we'll offer and I think (hope) he'll accept.

It's interesting to think about all that he's missed at the company in terms of maturation.

Everyone tends to think it's best to join a company at the beginning. And personally, I prefer it -- I've got a passion for those birthing days. But as I think about the situation with this candidate, I gotta say, there's a lot to be said to coming in when the birth is over and the business is early and clear. I'd recommend anyone who is considering joining an early stage company to give thought to what age and level a company is at prior to joining. Some of this analysis is economic -- revenue and profit and some of this analysis is management and founder maturity.
