imo, it's unwillingness to delegate that is the biggest sinker of startup ships.

delegation is useful for more than mere business efficiency. it also helps founders -- who may be new to leadership themselves -- build their personal formidability.

people notice the difference between someone who is accustomed to leading others and someone who isn't, and it can make or break a new company when investors are theones noticing.

Oooooh, good one. It's hard to let go of your baby! LOL! And even I'm learning, and have heard other founders say, "I can't work IN my business for it to grow, I have to work ON my business". And it does suck a little that you can't do the "fun" work, but it's pretty awesome to see your baby growing and thriving.
