I had the technical skills, the energy, and the time—this was before getting married and having three kids—but I doubted whether I had the personality to lead a company. I’m a classic introvert; I prefer small groups to big crowds, I tend to write my thoughts down before speaking them, and I gain energy by spending downtime at home, alone or with family. Eventually, the disappointment of not trying outweighed the fear of…
