The real issue for founders is that they think they are looking for a CEO and they end up selecting for skilled liars.

You always need references, and those references need to be trustable.

How do you know if a reference is trustable? (Reference checking the references maybe is one thing?)

One degree out people you trust.

(I don't mean for a CEO role, just in general)
