Scenario

When founders can't challenge their advisors

Our startup's advisory board meets quarterly and they give us advice but I've realized that none of us founders ever push back or ask hard questions because we're afraid of seeming ungrateful and I think we're wasting everyone's time with this dynamic.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

You've created a power dynamic based on gratitude rather than productive exchange, making the advisory relationship less valuable for everyone involved.
