Which Bottleneck Leadership Type Are You?
This Scorecard reveals the most dominant leadership pattern keeping your business dependent on you. See which profile best describes your current challenge.

The Firefighter
The Firefighter is caught in constant crisis mode—reacting to every problem, solving issues on the fly, and struggling to keep up. If you’re always the one to swoop in, your team never learns to handle challenges without you.

The Controller
The Controller keeps a tight grip on all decisions because standards and trust feel fragile. Delegation is hard, and every detail comes back to you for approval or oversight, leaving little room for true team accountability.

The Fixer
The Fixer can’t resist stepping in to coach, rescue, or unblock the team. You want to help, but your involvement means progress is always dependent on your presence and expertise.

The Overstretched Founder
The Overstretched Founder is carrying too much across too many areas, leaving no time or headspace to lead strategically. Spreading yourself thin means growth happens at the cost of your sanity.
