Mark Osborne explores how a founder's hands-on approach that builds early traction can trap a company later. As you scale, you need processes and delegation, not just the founder's instincts, to keep growing without burning out.
It's very important for the founder to have that early on because that shapes the direction that they take the company into. But they become a bottleneck and then you need to, you know, sort of bring in the processes that can allow it to transition to sort of marketing and sales-led growth, but still not lose that market intel that the founder needs or that the leadership team now needs in order to take the company where it needs to go and that enables the company to grow without those bottlenecks.
