Where to Find the Support All Next Gen Leaders Need

Oct 19, 2023

Show me any successful leader and I’ll ask about their teams. Individuals always fail. Teams determine success.

As a next gen leader, who do you currently have on your team? If you don't feel you currently have a robust team of support around you, who needs to be on your team in 2024?

One of my 72-year old clients recently said to me, “I’ll pay anything that helps my son take over this business.”  His son is 52 years old, eager, and ready to do whatever he can to prove his capacity to his father, but doesn't know how.

Sound familiar?

You may know that family business leaders drive over 60% of the GDP in the U.S. and over 70% of job growth.  The problem is that they make too many decisions based on guesswork, or intuition. They need experts and answers. 

About a month ago-- on the same day-- several of my clients asked me to create peer groups for Next Generation family business leaders.  When multiple people tell me to behave in a certain way, I tend to listen. So, I reached out to my marketing team, and my colleagues at the Family Business Consulting Group, and we designed this program. https://www.thefbcg.com/resource/next-gen-peer-groups/   

You should discard this blog if:

  • You do NOT want to grow your business in 2024
  • You do NOT want to reduce conflict or bad communication 
  • You WANT to remain lonely or frustrated

You should forward this blog to others in your family, peer network, and business if:

  • You want to NOMINATE someone in your family business or enterprise
  • You want to APPLY for your self
  • You want to belong to a transformative group of like-minded people

Work smarter, not harder. 

That 72-year old client nominated two of his leaders in this process.  One is a non-family SVP.  One is his son, naturally. These groups are for any next generation leader in family business, whether family member or not.
