From Chaos to Clarity — The Founder Bottleneck

When everything runs through you—and adding people makes it worse

There’s a moment in a growing company when effort stops working.

You hire good people. You delegate. You clarify roles.
And somehow, everything still waits on you.

This session is for founders who sense that the problem is no longer execution or talent—but how decisions move through the business.

From Chaos to Clarity — The Founder Bottleneck is a facilitated, conversation-first session that helps founders recognize when growth has outpaced a single decision-maker. The focus isn’t on tactics or delegation techniques. It’s on understanding what changed—and why the pressure feels different now.

We’ll explore:

• How founders become the bottleneck without realizing it
• Why hiring and delegation often increase pressure at this stage
• The difference between being involved and being required
• What chaos is actually signaling about decision ownership

There are no slides, tools, or prescriptions.
The value comes from shared language, pattern recognition, and clearer diagnosis.

If you’ve been working harder but moving less, this conversation is designed to help you make sense of why.
