Growing a business is a very different game from starting one. As a company goes from startup to scale-up, the founding team draw on entirely different skills. Increasingly, they will undertake more of a leadership role and deliver more results for investors. They have to make the leadership shift.
We have compiled an e-book for CEOs and leaders of all levels of fast-growing technology or social enterprise startups who want to find their entrepreneurial rhythm and propel their company forward.
Today’s founder-CEOs face a major dilemma
- 75% of venture-backed technology startups fail
- their challenges are unique as they are disrupting traditional industries
- most investors prefer the CEO to stay in post as the company grows
- but most entrepreneurs have never held a leadership position, and
- many leadership development interventions are viewed as superficial or ineffective
The tech ecosystem offers help on product or business development, however, leadership development and inner agility are lagging. Often seen as soft skills, research shows that it is these abilities that positively correlate to effective leadership and business performance.
Making the transition from founder or product owner to leader can be challenging, especially when effective leadership becomes the dominant factor in success or failure.
