Many business families struggle with succession planning. Often, it is assumed that the children will take over key leadership positions in the company – for example, oldest son will be CEO, oldest daughter will run marketing, second daughter will run HR etc. As a result the founder/matriarch/patriarch will be reluctant to step away because they do not have confidence in the next generation. Often this is less a reflection on the skills and abilities of the incoming generation and more a failure to objectively vet their talent and ensure the right match is made. In addition, there is often a lack of awareness about the tensions that arise when the family system becomes co-mingled with the business system and the need to objectively assess each family members talents and aptitudes before making critical decisions that will impact the business and the family.
The session with showcase the problems that arise in family business succession planning and offer solutions to that ensure that the founders can step away from the business with confidence and watch as the business and family prospers to the benefit of future generations of family.
