When Visionaries Fail

Why successful founders rarely make great CEOs — and how to break through founder limits to unlock your company’s true potential.

Thomas Zagler

I wrote this book after nearly three decades of leading and advising growing companies across Europe and Asia.

It is written for founders who start to feel the friction of growth – when momentum slows, decisions take longer, and the company no longer moves as easily as it once did.

The book explores a common pattern: how the very strengths that make founders successful early on can quietly become constraints as the company scales.
