Thank you for bringing up coaching. I absolutely agree, and it is a piece of advice I do wish I received earlier on in my career. Although I haven’t used services such as coach.me or the service you linked, I would note that most CEOs/founders I have worked with have had their own mentors/advisers that they were introduced to by their VCs or through their own networks. The advisers help ensure that these founders are growing as quickly as their companies are. For a new manager, having a good mentor would achieve very similar results, by providing a much shorter path to acquiring the required skillset for the job at hand.
