Content: Planning isn't done collectively, but by the founder. And         plans / ideas that do NOT come from the founder usually don't go very         far.

Some may ask, “So what’s wrong with         that?” And the answer is simple: If the “founder” is hit by a         meteor tomorrow, the organization is not sustainable, and all the good work the         organization has done over the years is in danger of screeching to a halt. That’s because organizations facing Founder’s Syndrome usually have         little infrastructure in place, because it simply hasn’t been needed. In         these situations, the founder IS the infrastructure! What Founders Need to         Know
