Two members of the founding team are interviewing candidates to be a third member.One of their questions is to see how an applicant responded to a problem he or she encountered in the past.The applicant responded with an answer that revealed a great deal of industry knowledge.Later,one of the interviewers noted to the other that his statements used "I" instead of "we." Interpret the founder's concern in light of a startup's needs.

Use of an "I" statement to reflect on an activity that takes a team effort can indicate an unwillingness to consider the current or future capabilities of the team.People with large egos are likely to dismiss the opinions of others,which may mean not recognizing when something doesn't work or where there is a better idea.
