Don’t Treat Your Founder Like a Traditional CEO

TRACK

4. Built From Scratch

2:30 pm

3:15 pm

Online. 3 September.
One pass. Every session. 12 months of replay access.

Founders can be CEOs, but they didn’t necessarily become CEOs in the way most traditional CEOs did. That difference matters.

In this interactive session, we’ll rethink how People & Culture partners with founders. Rather than starting with what a CEO should look like, we’ll explore what made your founder successful in the first place: their strengths, instincts and the role they naturally play. We’ll then look at the downstream impact of those strengths as a company grows, and how to build a leadership system around them - amplifying what’s exceptional, complementing gaps and developing what genuinely needs to change.

‍

What you'll leave with:

A new lens for understanding founders: why the path to becoming a founder-CEO matters, and what it means for how you partner with them.
A practical way to understand your founder: identifying their distinctive strengths, the function they naturally represent, and the downstream impact on the organisation.
A framework for building around them: what to amplify, complement, protect and develop as the company grows.
