Scenario

When leadership teams struggle to address founder transition resistance

Our leadership team has been talking about preparing the company for life after our founder retires but nobody wants to be the one to directly address the fact that she's not actually planning for transition at all. We all see the gaps that are forming and the institutional knowledge that only exists in her head, but there's this unspoken fear that bringing it up will seem like we're pushing her out or questioning her judgment.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

A group knows that necessary change requires a difficult conversation with someone they respect, but the power dynamics make honest dialogue feel impossible.
