Founder Independence AssessmentHow dependent is your business on you?
You've built a successful business. You've hired capable people. You've delegated more than ever before.
Yet important decisions, difficult problems and high-stakes situations still have a habit of finding their way back to you.
This 3-minute assessment reveals how independently your business can currently operate from you, and the leadership patterns that may still be reinforcing dependency.
15 questions. About 3 minutes. No preparation needed.
Where does the business still come back to you?
Founder dependency rarely looks like doing everything yourself.
It often shows up in subtler moments:
- when a meaningful decision reaches your desk for confirmation
- when someone gets stuck and you become the quickest source of an answer
- when the work meets the objective, but you still feel the urge to improve it
- when a leader struggles and you start carrying the outcome again
- when urgency changes who really owns the decision
- when something becomes important enough that it automatically becomes yours
The assessment looks at what actually happens in those moments, especially when the stakes rise.
Because delegation tells you who does the work.
Dependency tells you where judgement, authority and responsibility ultimately live.
See which stage of founder independence your business has reached.
You'll receive:
- your current Founder Independence phase
- your Dependency Pattern Profile
- the leadership transition your answers point toward next
15 questions. About 3 minutes.
This is not about becoming unnecessary to your business.
It is about understanding where the business still requires you when it may no longer need to.
