Your CEO should be strong.

Your CTO should be wise.

Your COO should be wicked, cunning, of mysterious origins, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures,

Peter Thiel on Why You Must Build a Cult:

"In the most intense kind of organization, members hang out only with other members.

They ignore their families and abandon the outside world. In exchange, they experience strong feelings of belonging, and maybe get access to esoteric 'truths' denied to ordinary people.

We have a word for such organizations: cults. Cultures of total dedication look crazy from the outside, partly because the most notorious cults were homicidal: Jim Jones and Charles Manson did not make good exits.

But entrepreneurs should take cultures of extreme dedication seriously. Is a lukewarm attitude to one’s work a sign of mental health?

Is a merely professional attitude the only sane approach?

The extreme opposite of a cult is a consulting firm like Accenture: not only does it lack a distinctive mission of its own, but individual consultants are regularly dropping in and out of companies to which they have no long-term connection whatsoever...

The best startups might be considered slightly less extreme kinds of cults. The biggest difference is that cults tend to be fanatically wrong about something important.

People at a successful startup are fanatically right about something those outside it have missed.

You're not going to learn those kinds of secrets from consultants, and you don’t need to worry if your company doesn’t make sense to conventional professionals.

Better to be called a cult—or even a mafia."
