An entrepreneur has specific skills for an early-stage environment, but not necessarily for a later-stage one (some exceptions exist), and (s)he might not even enjoy being in the company at that time. Employees have a certain potential with them also, you hire them for a specific purpose. And, either they show growth-potential or they do not. Not everyone wants to be a manager, and I think that applies to both entrepreneurs and employees. Maybe employers think that too… How’s that for a brain-twister? :)
