How Do I Build A Community That Survives Without Me?
Details
Leading through absence — how do you build a community that survives without you in the room?
Every founder reaches a moment when physical presence is no longer possible — but leadership still is.
This session explores what it takes to stay at the helm while stepping back from the day-to-day minutiae of running a community…
How do you escape the founder’s trap without abandoning your vision?
How do you transfer emotional ownership, not just tasks, to people who joined what you built rather than co-created it?
And when things get bumpy in your absence, how do you distinguish healthy growing pains from genuine warning signs that need your attention?
Come ready to think out loud.
