Founder commitment register
A lightweight register for keeping founder promises visible without turning every relationship into a task list.
In this guide
- Define the executive support outcome
- Match role scope to leadership cadence
- Use a structured selection process
Define the role
Capture the promise, recipient, context, next action, owner, and date it matters. Distinguish a confirmed commitment from a possible follow-up.
Set the operating model
Support may prepare reminders and drafts inside agreed boundaries, but the founder decides what to promise and how a sensitive relationship should be handled.
Choose with care
Review the register weekly and close stale entries. A smaller current record protects trust better than a long list nobody reconciles.
