Require next GEN leaders to work outside of the business for a\nminimum of five years.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class='blogContentSpace' style=\"text-align: justify;\">This tip is frequently shared by those who have successfully transferred leadership to a child who benefited from the experience of working outside of the family business. While this requirement may seem harsh, the benefits are many.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Growing up in a family business can breed entitlement. But when forced to reckon with the \u201creal world\u201d outside of the family business, life looks very different and there is an opportunity for maturity and a new perspective.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Also shared frequently is the regret of not doing so. We often hear business owners lamenting about how entitled their children have become. When life is easy, things are handled to you, and there are few \u201creal-life\u201d consequences, adult children essentially never grow up. And they don\u2019t make good leaders.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading blogHeadingbottom\"><strong>2. Be realistic about the strengths and capacity of your future leader.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">When assessing the potential leadership abilities of our children, we must be realistic. Not everyone should be in a leadership position. And a common last name should not be one of the decision criteria.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Seek outside information from objective, non-family members who don\u2019t have an interest in the outcome. Leadership abilities present themselves throughout a person\u2019s life. When your child\u2019s grade school teacher is telling you about your child\u2019s leadership in the classroom or on the playground, pay attention.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">If your child is not called to be in a leadership position, don\u2019t force it. Guide them into a role that is better suited to their natural talents. Not everyone can or should be the CEO.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading blogHeadingbottom\"><strong>3. Give Your future leader opportunities to lead with your mentorship prior to succession.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">There is often a window of time where a next-generation leader may be given some leadership responsibility before fully taking over. This overlap provides for coaching, feedback, and mistakes to be made without serious consequences.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Sometimes this window of time doesn\u2019t exist. A next-gen leader may have to take over the family business, whether ready or not, if something tragic happens. These situations are extremely unfortunate. But they also serve to motivate proactive behavior for others who do have the luxury of time.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">The worst thing a leader can do is to squander this precious opportunity when they could have taken steps to develop their next-gen leader under their guidance.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading blogHeadingbottom\"><strong>4. Surround your future leader with advisors and resources to support\nthem.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Next-gen leaders are better equipped when they are surrounded by qualified advisors and helpful resources. This allows them to obtain the guidance they need without continuing to rely on their parents. And it allows the parents to more seamlessly move into retirement.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">When issues arise, the parents aren\u2019t dragged back into the business. Instead, advisors are able to come alongside these next generation leaders to help them avoid mistakes, guide them through difficult situations, and be a sounding board for making decisions.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading blogHeadingbottom\"><strong>5. Don\u2019t ignore or discount the impact that succession in favor of one\nchild will impact the rest of the family other children.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">When a next-gen leader is taking over their family business, the impact on their siblings should not be minimized or overlooked.<\/p>\n<p class='blogContentSpace'  style=\"text-align: justify;\">Parents often assume that all of their children will get along just fine, when\u00a0that may not be the case. Questions or concerns raised by their children are\u00a0often discounted in their importance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By listening to their children and diligently addressing their concerns, family\u00a0relationships are more likely to remain intact during and after succession.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Transitioning leadership within a family business is both a pivotal opportunity\u00a0and a potential source of complexity.
