The You Are Not The Successor; We’ll Hire Externally Conversation Guide helps family business owners avoid disruptive family conflict while communicating the rejection of a succession candidate from the top role and assumption of the role from someone outside the family.

As owner, you may need to reject a succession candidate as a contender for filling your shoes and hire externally – bringing someone in from outside the family to run the business. This guide helps the owner:

1. Determine whether the rejected individual’s feelings pose any risk to the business and managing them accordingly;
2. Communicate the best options for the individual’s role in the business going forward.

Bringing in an external person to run the business? This Conversation Guide provides guidance that is:

• crafted by an organizational psychologist to address issues realistically and practically so users do not have to figure the steps out by themselves;
• step by step highlighting the main considerations that should be covered in this important conversation; and
• provides dual perspective of both owner and successor – helping each party see what the other may be considering. 

Ready to integrate an external person into the business? Have the conversation. Your business and family may depend on it.
