Founders Syndrome occurs when a non-profit operates according to the personality of the chief executive or board which places an organization at high risk of declining.

1.) Are highly skeptical about planning 

2.) Make reactive crisis driven decisions with little input from others 

3.)  React to most problems with the lament “If I only had more money…” Square Knot offers a variety of leadership techniques through its trainings and services.
