A founder or manager becomes a bottleneck when they're the only one spotting problems, designing solutions, or executing work. Delegate all three or your team never learns to move without you, and you burn out.
Here are 3 signs you're a bottleneck inside of your business. In order to have progress, you've got to find a problem, find the solution to that problem, and then go execute on the solution. Now, if you're the only person inside the organization that finds problems and can think about the business and find the issues, you're gonna be a bottleneck. If you're the only person that can actually take a problem and be like, oh, here's how we solve it using X, Y, and Z solution— if you're the only one coming up with that also you're gonna be the bottleneck. And last but not least, if you have a whole bunch of people that can find problems, they know exactly what to do, but they don't actually go do it, and they can't do the boring work and execute, you're also gonna be the bottleneck, and you're probably going to burn out.
