ASSESSMENT
Discover Exactly How Dependent Your Business Is on You—and Where Growth Is Starting to Break Down
In less than 15 minutes, uncover the leadership, accountability, and execution gaps that may be forcing too much of your business to flow through you.
GET INSTANT ACCESS
Get your Founder Dependency Scorecard and discover whether your business is truly scaling—or simply relying on you to hold it together.
You’ve built a successful business, but growth still seems to create more complexity, more decisions, and more demands on your time.
You find yourself pulled into accountability conversations, problem-solving, decision-making, and operational issues that your leadership team should be handling. Even when you step away for a few days, things slow down, stall out, or find their way back to you.
If that sounds familiar, this assessment was built for you.
What You’ll Identify
1
Where decision-making is still flowing back to the founder
Many businesses believe decisions are being delegated when they’re actually being delayed, escalated, or routed back through the founder. You’ll identify whether leaders truly own decisions or simply manage them until founder input is required.
2
How much accountability depends on your involvement
You’ll uncover whether leaders are holding one another accountable or relying on the founder to reinforce commitments, resolve conflicts, and drive follow-through.
3
Whether execution can continue without you
Discover how dependent priorities, projects, and initiatives are on your direct involvement. Many businesses appear organized on the surface but struggle to maintain momentum when the founder steps away.
4
The leadership capacity limiting future growth
Growth requires leaders who think and operate like business owners. You’ll gain insight into whether your leadership team has developed the ownership, initiative, and decision-making capacity needed to support the next stage of growth.
What Happens Next
After completing the assessment, you’ll calculate your Founder Dependency Score and you will see what your results reveal about your organization’s leadership ownership, accountability, decision-making, and execution discipline.
You’ll immediately see where dependency is showing up, how it may be limiting growth, and what areas deserve attention first. The assessment can serve as a practical discussion tool for leadership teams or as the starting point for a deeper DRIVE Execution Assessment.
The scorecard highlighted issues we knew existed but hadn’t been able to clearly define. It gave us a practical way to see where accountability and decision-making were still flowing through the owner and helped us focus on the right conversations as a leadership team.
