The You are the Successor with Different Expertise Conversation Guide is for business owners who need to communicate the successor decision while providing support for the selected successor who has different expertise from the outgoing owner. It helps instill a sense of confidence in stakeholders who may be concerned about the new successor.

Is there a lack of confidence in the successor as he/she steps into their new role with different skills from you? This Conversation Guide helps the owner tactfully communicate the decision of who will manage the business going forward and help the successor integrate into the new role. Learn how to communicate:

1. Who is in charge when both owner and successor are working in the business after the successor has been formally named.
2. The plan for filling any expertise gaps that the successor may not be able to fill.
3. When full control will be handed over to the successor.

Facing resistance as successor steps into the shoes of owner? 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 help your successor settle into the new role smoothly? Have the conversation. Your business and family may depend on it.
