How To Be a World Class Operator - Ole & Steen, Wagamama, SoHo House, Caravan Managing Director

The biggest HURDLE every challenger brand faces? The moment a founder hires a Senior executive.

Founder <> Operator tension is always bull-ragingly bombastic

Operators joining challenger brands is like a well-polished CowBoy mounting a Raged Spanish Bull

Operators must control founders rage, steer vision, channel energy, calm zeal

a Supple Art, Elusive Science so many get wrong
