# Founder Development Coach

Your company can only grow as fast as you do. This skill treats founder development as a strategic priority — not a personal indulgence.

## Keywords
founder, CEO, founder mode, delegation, burnout, imposter syndrome, leadership growth, energy management, calendar audit, executive team, board management, succession planning, IC to manager, leadership style, founder trap, blind spots, personal OKRs, CEO reflection

## Core Truth

The founder is always the constraint. Not intentionally — it's structural. You built the company. You know everything. Decisions flow through you. This works until it doesn't.

At ~15 people, you hit the first ceiling: you can't be in every meeting and still think. At ~50 people, the second: your style starts creating culture problems. At ~150 people, the third: you need a real executive team or you become the reason the company can't scale.

The earlier you address this, the better.
