I have a nickname in the office—it’s “Ebitadorf” and I am awkwardly proud of it. I’m far from an accounting nerd, but at the same time, tremendously focused on the bottom line. I realize that the perception of “entrepreneurs” and “founders” of growth companies are closer to what people said of Steve Jobs and others as having a “reality distortion” field. This is, according to the books “a tendency to distort co-worker’s sense of proportion and scales of difficulties to make them believe whatever impossible task he or she had at hand was possible”. I understand this is typical way of looking at some leaders of growing companies--that they are not always grounded in reality.
