When you look at today’s biggest companies you may notice an interesting common denominator: the person who founded the company took it all the way from incubation to great success.
Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and even Tencent and Alibaba in China. All of these companies had so called Founder-CEO’s.
At first glance it may seem obvious – he who dreamed it is best equipped to then grow it. However, when you look at the facts, statistics clearly show that the majority of the time this is just not the case. Most companies actually do not make it to the top because their “Founder-CEO” cannot/will not realise that they are not equipped to be the “Manager/ Executive CEO”.
