The Founder's Survival Guide - Rachel Turner E

Start-up leadership will only get you so far.

The founder path is isolating, stressful and overwhelming, and few founders survive the scale-up journey unscathed. If you don't scale your leadership as you scale your company, you're unlikely to survive.

Rachel Turner has spent over twenty years helping founders of growing businesses to survive and thrive, so they can lead successful and healthy businesses. The Founder's Survival Guide shows you how to do the same. It shows you how to adapt your leadership style and shift from brave warrior, to considered architect, to wise monarch as your business grows. It addresses some of the most common challenges scale-up founders face, and provides an extensive toolbox to help you manage your team, your energy and your mind.
