Why traditional responses may not be enough
Working harder won't solve a structural dependency.
Delegating tasks can help, but delegation is not the same as creating organizational autonomy.
How the organization can get in the way
People may lack authority, information, confidence or clarity about what they own.
If the organization is designed around your intervention, your intervention becomes part of the operating system.
What we've seen in the field
The goal isn't to make the founder less important.
It's to make the organization more capable.
Our approach
We help identify where dependency is embedded in the way the organization works, then focus on the changes that can increase autonomy.
