Founder's syndrome (also founderitis) is a popular term for a difficulty faced by organizations where one or more founders maintain disproportionate power and influence following the effective initial establishment of the project, leading to a wide range of problems for both the organization and those involved in it. The founder makes all decisions, big and small, without a formal process or input from others. 2  Decisions are made in crisis mode, with little forward planning. 3  Staff meetings are held generally to rally the troops, get status reports, and assign tasks.
People become afraid of the founder. Â· Founders Syndrome is no one's fault -- no founder sets out to damage their organization. Besides, the syndrome rarely takes hold without numerous members of the Board and staff exhibiting symptoms of the syndrome. Ultimately, Founders Syndrome sets in because the organization becomes dependent, not on the systems and structures of the organization, but on the unique style of the leader -- whether the leader is consistently decisive or consistently indecisive.
