Abby Donnelly wrote an excellent book An Insider’s Guide to Succession and Exit in 2023. Her book is full of sound advice as well as many intriguing statistics. What are some of her most noteworthy numbers, and what can we take away by looking at the often vast differences between the perspectives of both the departing and succeeding generations?

Please tune in this week as Wayne shares some rather schizophrenic stats. He also passes along one especially particular sage succession question from Donnelly. What’s your view? Are senior leaders and their successors really that far apart in their perspectives? If so, why? Please email your comments to Wayne at [email protected]

One last seat remains for our upcoming Contractor Business Boot Camp class that starts in September in Denver, CO. We do not have any more sessions scheduled for 2025. Grab this opportunity and invest in your rising leaders so they are fully prepared to take charge when it is time. Contact Charlotte today at [email protected] to learn more about the program.
