Succession Thinking

Your business may be financially successful, but you are probably still central to too many decisions. And feelings of being stuck, overwhelmed or lonely are common. Succession thinking is an SME business-building approach to help you build a resilient organisation that can deliver long-term success while also increasing the value of your business. It is also an approach where you don''t lose your entrepreneurial roots.

When you started your business, your core motivations may have been solving a specific problem and being your own boss. Or to develop new wealth-creation opportunities. Whatever your founding story, the journey develops and your motivations change. What do you now want your business to deliver, and for whom? This book provides direction for you as an Owner-Leader. You will learn how to:

• create and share your vision for your business
• build leadership that will last beyond you
• develop and embed your values into your organisation
• put the right people in the right roles
• monitor and store key business data
• get your partners, managers and team all rowing in the same direction
• take advantage of the opportunities and flexibility of running an SME.

Your business will be driven by investing in people, and you can challenge traditional power hierarchies and ideas that undermine sustained success.
