The Founder Dependency Check™
Why does everything still come back to you?
Your business has grown
You have managers
You have systems
You have people you trust
Yet somehow important decisions, problems and responsibilities still find their way back to you
As businesses grow, founder dependency can become harder to spot and more difficult to address
Left unchecked, founder dependency can quietly become the biggest constraint on future growth
What Is Founder Dependency?
Founder dependency occurs when the success, decisions or day-to-day operation of a business rely too heavily on one individual
It often shows up as:
Decisions being escalated unnecessarily
Managers lacking confidence to act
Growth slowing when the founder is unavailable
The owner remaining involved in routine operational decisions
