DROP THE TORCH - CHASING SUCCESSION IS A LOSING GAME
The next generation of leadership shouldn't be a "given" just because of the last name. The most successful leadership transitions are when both generations are "all-in" and genuinely interested in the continuation of the firm. The senior generation has to be ready, willing, and able to delegate, develop, and disengage. The next generation has to be competent, qualified, and invested in the business.
Join us at this program, where we will discuss why "grooming" the next generation doesn't work, and how to engage a qualified family successor.
