Summary
This is episode 1018 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen, where for this episode we focus on "managing family-owned leadership transitions." In this special edition, we explore the unique nature of family-owned businesses, and how family-owned businesses in the past have successfully transferred leadership and ownership from one generation to the next. We also cross-walk through a successful executive search for a hired-gun, professional manager, who will act as the new interim CEO for a family-owned business, where the new CEO must navigate the business operations while managing the hopes, dreams, and realities of the family-owned business, with an aim of preparing the next generation family members for leadership.
