Define Scope and Leadership Intervention Goals
Establish the precise operational boundaries and strategic intent of this leadership and hiring intervention. Identify the specific bottlenecks in decision-making, team alignment, or founder bandwidth that this task must resolve.
Clarifying this action defines the explicit success criteria for resetting the venture's internal operating model. It ensures the founder avoids generic management theory and focuses strictly on high-leverage organisational friction points.
The founder must produce a clear, single-page scoping note detailing current operational friction points and desired leadership outcomes. This document must explicitly define what success looks like for early team dynamics and execution speed.
