Silicon Valley uses “wartime CEO” to describe a leadership model for tough times. This makes sense. Startups are hard enough on a good day. Running your startup during a time of crisis, pandemic, or downturn can feel like a battle. But in Israel, it’s literal. Throughout the last 6 months of war, Israel’s founders of startups at every stage have not just led; they’ve done so under circumstances most can scarcely imagine. These are the real Wartime CEOs – and the leadership lessons we are about to share have been forged in fire. We’ve said before that a CEO’s psychology…
