The Family Biz Show


May 3, 2021

Join us as Dr. Michelle Clark and Dr. Moira Somers discuss the difficulties around family succession when the leader of the business can't let go. Learn why this happens, what to do if this is a problem in your business, and how not to become that person! 

During the live podcast recording, we will be focused on the following topics: 

  • The impact of family relationships during leadership transitions.
  • Are you talking about me?  How to self-identify whether or not you’re unable to let go.
  • The difference between helpful and hurtful when the leadership role is transitioning.
  • How not to be the leader that won’t let go - the importance and role of identity when it comes to succession planning.
  • How to “dementia-proof" the family business.
