Founder vs CEO:
Navigating the Shift from Building to Scaling
Many aspiring Co-Founders embark on the journey of Entrepreneurship with dreams of becoming CEOs, yet not all manage to transition into that role successfully. Often, the distinction lies in their approach: whether they remain fixated on the early stages of building their venture or adeptly navigate the complexities of scaling it up.
The dichotomy presented in the slide may appear straightforward, but the choice between the two paths speaks volumes about one's leadership style.
So, which category do you fall into?
