Executives and Founders: Reality Over Fantasy
Executives often harbor a fantasy of transforming organizations into well-oiled machines, believing they can implement a 'fix-it' approach upon joining.

Stability in the industry could support delegation, but generally, the founder's consistent engagement in decision-making remains vital for success.
