Incorporating someone into the thing
vs.
Committing to someone
This is essentially the difference between a solo performer (who hires musicians) and an actual band.
Incorporating people into your thing means to simply include them in what you have going on. They get to come along, be on the inside, do their job, get paid...they’re relieved of all major decision making, plan making, goal setting, major problem solving.
But committing to someone is very different. Committing to someone says…Our end goals are aligned. We share a vision. Your fulfillment is matters to me and I’m willing to compromise part of what I want so that you get what you want too. We’re building this thing together. And if we fail I’m glad it was with you.
There’s a place for both. Advantages to both. But don’t let anyone be confused about which boat they’re in.
