Founders who need to be the smartest in the room are limiting how far their business can grow.
The goal is the opposite.
You want to be the least skilled person in the room.
Not because you lack ability.
Because you built a team that outperforms you.
People with better skills.
Better work ethic.
More drive.
More expertise in their lane.
That is how a business scales.
When everyone around you is stronger in their role, decisions improve.
Execution gets faster.
Results compound.
And most importantly, everything does not fall back on you.
You are no longer the safety net for every problem.
You are building a company that can think, act, and win without depending on one person.
That is real leverage.
Share this with a founder who still feels like they have to be the smartest in every room.
