Succession Planning
Succession planning is a process for identifying and developing new leaders who can replace the old leaders when they leave, retire, or die. In business, it entails developing internal people with the potential to fill key business leadership positions.
Lets take a look at some of the statistics.
- Over 2/3 of the wealth in this country was created since WWII. Over the next 2 decades, members of this generation will die or retire, creating the largest transfer of wealth and business in our country’s history.
- Over 40% of all family businesses will change leadership in the next 5 years.
- Less than 1/3 of all family businesses succeed into the next generation. Less than 15% make it to the 3rd generation and less than 4% make it to the 4th!!
