Many founders start their companies by doing everything themselves. But as a company grows, success requires a fundamental shift: from being the founder who builds to the CEO who leads. In fast-moving startup environments, leadership becomes the key capability that enables sustainable growth.
This impulse talk explores the essential leadership transformation founders must go through to scale their companies. It highlights how founders can evolve from operational doers into strategic leaders by strengthening their ability to lead themselves, empower people, and build organizations that grow beyond the founder.
