Transition from Founder to CEO

As entrepreneurs evolve from founders to CEOs, their roles undergo significant changes. Initially, the CEO title may hold less meaning, but as the company grows, defining the CEO role becomes crucial. This transition often requires entrepreneurs to move away from hands-on tasks they enjoy, leading to delegation challenges. It is essential for CEOs to delegate effectively based on their strengths and weaknesses.
