TEAM
Founder to Leader is created as a partnership between Copenhagen Business School and The Danish Industry Foundation.
Attracting and retaining the right talented employees and building a high-performance culture among their team to effectively build a sustainable business is key for any business and leader to succeed today. However, building sustainable cultures in startups is a significant challenge for new founder leaders resulting in poor performance, stress, dysfunctional team dynamics, excessive work, lack of diversity, and suitable internal communication. This program has been launched based on the practical experience of founder leaders in startups and the existing leadership and organizational research on high-performing teams and organizations.
