Is your business owner holding the company back?

It could be that he or she is stuck in ‘The Founder’s Trap’.  Maybe that person is you!

Most entrepreneurs want to make a lot of money and run the show. But research shows that it’s tough to do both. And if you don’t figure out which matters more to you, you could end up being neither rich nor king.

The attached article entitled ‘The Founder’s Dilemma‘ by Noam Wasserman – which appeared in the Harvard Business Review in 2008 – includes research, findings and practical suggestions for dealing with the tradeoffs between financial gains and control that every entrepreneur faces as their business grows.

If you’d like to do something about navigating this dilemma, consider attending my upcoming information breakfast specifically for business owners, CEOs, Managing Directors and General Managers.
