Common Business Traps: Founder's Trap

Eighty percent of startups fail, but twenty percent succeed. If you got this far, congratulations. Your energy, drive, ambition and personal commitment got you here. But wait. Are you letting your staff help you build the business?

Are there signs that you may be in the Founder's Trap?

  • It's frustrating when others don't work as hard as me. Don't they care?
  • Why can't I find anyone who can make decisions?
  • When I delegate, things just don't get done right.
  • The only way to be successful these days is to run a lean, mean machine.
  • There's nobody here who I can really talk to.
  • I gave everyone a job description but nobody is working better.
  • A friend said that a dental plan is a good idea to motivate people.
  • I don't feel they really want me to take initiative here.

To liberate your company from this inevitable hurdle, Pragmos begins by showing you what's working right now, and what's getting in the way. Then we help you make an inventory of the talents and resources around you. In most cases, they're being misused.

We'll show you how to optimize the strengths you already have. What you don't have, we'll identify, and help you get. Then we'll be there to guide you through the necessary changes your company needs to make.
