High Amplitude Disagreeableness

Startup people share a distinctive trait called 'high amplitude disagreeableness' — they may not argue constantly, but when they do, they go all-in, publicly and persistently. This stems from a creator mindset rather than an extractor mindset. Managers who want to attract and retain entrepreneurial talent need to match that intensity themselves, build cultures that tolerate strong disagreement without punishment, and avoid being confidently wrong — because startup people will remember and hold it against you.
