WordPress is reaching its 'end-stage founder' period, forcing its leaders to confront whether the creation matters more than the creator's intention, which requires profound self-reflection.
Such periods are characterized by stalled growth and increased churn, signaling a critical point where founders must reconsider their leadership, direction, and the value of their ecosystems.
In an end-stage scenario, founders often become reactive, focusing more on competitive threats rather than maintaining a unique vision and fostering community engagement.
The challenges of an end-stage founder period reveal a humbling reality for leaders: the importance of contributors must be acknowledged and integrated into their future strategy.
