Navigating a founder's high expectations for immediate results requires clear communication & setting realistic milestones. Begin by aligning on short-term goals that demonstrate progress without sacrificing long-term vision. Emphasize the importance of sustainable growth, explaining that quick wins can build momentum but should be balanced with strategies that ensure lasting success. Regular updates & transparent discussions about potential challenges help manage expectations and keep the relationship constructive.

it sounds more like working under Elon Musk who wants not immediate but possibly the yes to every endeavour. in that case, the project manager, is not only the project manager but also the negotiator. so in this case, he has to be the perfect negotiator along with the perfect business analyst, so that he may know what is best or not for his founder, who is looking for immediate results within no time

Como disse, em alguns outras respostas não tem caminho fácil para o nosso mercado e nossos investimentos são de longo prazo. Se um fundador que resultados rápidos ele provavelmente ainda não entende o próprio processo de empreender

As Chairman of an investment company, I’ve often worked with founders eager for immediate results. To manage their high expectations while fostering sustainable growth, I focus on setting realistic milestones, maintaining frequent communication, and educating them on the value of patience. These strategies help align their drive for quick wins with a balanced approach to long-term success.

Building startups is a long-term game and requires patience from both founders and investors. Some of the ways that you can help founders who wants to move too fast are as follows: -Follow the OKR process and set key objectives and key quantitative milestones that can be achieve in a given period. - Help the founders with the action plan/ strategy to achieve those milestones. - Set regular communication meetings at regular intervals to track the progress of those milestones. -Bring your knowledge and expertise to the table beyond funding. -Maintain your calmness during uncertain times and teach the same virtues to the founders not to get disturbed by short term fluctuations.
