YOU ARE NOT THE SUCCESSOR; THERE’S NO ROLE – Guide 5

This You Are Not The Successor; There’s No Other Role Conversation Guide helps family business owners eager to avoid conflict that could hurt both the business AND the family by rejecting a potential successor from the top role while also letting them know that there are no other roles available.

As owner, you may need to reject a succession candidate as a contender for filling your shoes. There may also not be another role available for them in the business. This conversation guide helps the family business owner learn how to:

  1. Preserve a positive relationship between the owner and the rejected individual.
  2. Support the individual in their pursuit of a new career outside the company.
  3. Work together to create a positive story around the succession decision.

Rejecting a successor and asking them to leave 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 manage a successor’s exit from the business? Have the conversation. Your business and family may depend on it.
