Section 2: Leadership Capabilities: Q&A
 
 
What motivates you to pursue this business? Why are you in this business?
 
10pts I'm passionate about this business because of the huge market gap and the opportunity to fill it -- I am very clear about the key elements required to win in this market.
 
9pts I'm passionate about this business because of my specific, relevant expertise -- and quite clear about how to solve the problem this market cares about.
 
8pts I'm passionate about the market in a very personal way -- this problem has affected me or those I care deeply about. I am exactly the right person to bring the right elements together to build the right solution.
 
7pts I'm very passionate about the meeting this market need, but quite realistic about the effort required and the response of the market.
 
5pts I am excited and energized as I build this business because I've got this thing nailed. I have a clear understanding about the market forces and required actions to win. For the plan to work you have to work the plan.
 
3pts The team embraced the problem and is solving it, but shows signs of unrealistic expectations of the work required and the ease of action. That's why the need a strong leader like me -- I have the experience to guide them past the rough edges to polish the solution.
 
1pts This really is an avocation or lifestyle business for the me. I know I can build a profitable business and give investors a return, but I have no illusions about exiting via IPO or acquisition for big dollars...although that might be nice for my retirement :-)
 
1pts I absolutely want to solve this problem, but it is early days and I don't know enough about what it will take to win in the market.
 
0pts This is the absolute best opportunity for me to pursue considering all of my other options.
