Title: Founder’s Syndrome? Who Me?
Headings: 

Content: 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
We use two analogies to describe our relationship to the         organization we founded. We try not to mix these metaphors, but sometimes it         happens. Here goes: Once you have birthed         it, it is no longer your baby. Just as it is with our own children,         once they are born, they are their own persons. We can guide our children,         teach them, nurture them - but our son or daughter is a person in his/her own         right.
