Leadership Readiness Check
Five signs you're not ready for either hire yet
01
Undefined Scope
You cannot explain what the new leader would own in the first 90 days.
02
Vague Expectations
The goal is just to "make product run better" without naming the system problem.
03
Impossible Brief
Expecting one hire to simultaneously fix strategy, process, and delivery.
04
Priority Chaos
The roadmap has no prioritization logic; everything is a priority every quarter.
05
Founder Control
The founder isn't genuinely ready to hand over real decision rights.
