Title: The Hospital Test
A founder once told me:
"The company survived
because I wasn't the only person
holding it together."
When his son was hospitalized
after a serious accident,
he stayed at the hospital
with his family.
Years earlier, he would
have chosen work.
This time, he didn't have to.
The business continued running
because he had built systems,
delegated responsibility,
and trusted capable people.
That's the difference between
building a company
and building a dependency.
A business that collapses
without you isn't freedom.
It's another form of captivity.

Authority should be built and delegated within the system. That is the hallmark of great leadership.

Many pride themselves doing the one man show. They are everywhere, doing everything. Almost no delegation, little trust for other professionals.

Nothing else matters like family(and a few genuine and trustworthy friends). Many don't realise this until they are dying.
