A Succession Plan For Your Long Standing Family Enterprise

Article Category: Business Management

Author Name: Dawn Manning

To answer the question what is a succession plan you've got to first come to grips with what it is not. To be successful a family business succession plan must be considered a process and not an one-off event.

Trying to provide a definitive description of what is a succession plan when not being willing to first face the fact that not only is it a process, it is one that continues forever, will cause you more stress and frustration than you can ever imagine.

Considering what is a succession plan seems to lead to common misconception. Company owners picturing their succession planning as a one time event, perhaps like taking a cruise - something they do only once in their lifetime.

The savvy business enterprise owner knows however that their survival as a viable business into the newest generation and beyond requires succession planning strategies that become part of the everyday environment.

Think about it, as soon as the succession plan from your parents generation to your is in motion - it's time to consider your growing family. And take it from me your kids will be going through the same considerations is the blink of an eye.

So succession planning, to be successful (affordable) becomes part of the ongoing climate - begun as early as possible and adjusted often in order to keep the planning focused in the right direction based on the family's ever changing dynamics.

What is a succession plan is most typically about developing leaders and managers from within your immediate family to own and run the organization in the future.

However that may not be your situation. You may have a nephew or neighbor who will fill the role of your successor.

In either case the comments below are still valid. The legal details and the elements of actual ownership transfer should be taken up with your professional advisors, after reading and considering these observations together as a family unit.

For a lot of you figuring out which or if one or more of your kids will be part of the company's future is job # 1.

Historically company owners have taken one of two approaches with their offspring when it comes to determining who's going to run the place in the next generation.

Some choose their potential successor very early, based on their implied interest in the organisation, in terms of their interest in doing the work, like wanting to work in the plant rather than play sports.

Or they favor a hands-off approach, maybe even encouraging their kids to choose a different profession as a result of their apparent disinterest in working there after school and during summer vacation.

In the glamorous world of the 21st century, along with all the cool things their kids are learning - it's easy to see how the business owner might feel unable to compete, to the point that they unconsciously push away all but those who show the most significant interest in the business.

My observations have demonstrated that both the hands-off approach or the early recognition of interest in the odd jobs around the family business are huge mistakes.

Over and over again I have seen people leave the family business who should have stayed. And I have seen them return after years working for some Fortune 500 company to try and recapture years of lost momentum.

Family company owners should be more aggressive from the very beginning when trying to identify and motivate their future successors, especially considering the many ways the younger generation can be involved in the operation today - even without living there, rather than leaving the outcome to chance.

Don't let them overlook the important opportunity that being part of a successful family business operation offers!

Ok, so maybe it's not about the big paycheck from some important company to start with, it is however a chance to accomplish something that will be around long after they're gone, a chance to expand the business as a continuing symbol of your families accomplishments, and something they will own they can pass to those who follow them. This is no a dream, this is a reality.

Successful family business owners take every opportunity, whether it's at the rare family dinner or going through the McDonald's drive-through, to talk about the problems and challenges of owning part of the American dream.

These successful business owners are focused on the future and they are always looking for input and ideas they may not have considered or knew about and forgot.

You'll be amazed how a 12 year old can ask questions that will bring you up short and bingo the light goes on.

Successful family business owners make talking about the business and its impact on the family and the community into a never-ending story.

They bring others into the conversation early and often, report how their last suggestions turned out, and show how they value the opinions of there children no matter how young they are.

These successful family business owners know full well that they are step by step by step unleashing the power, creativity, and imagination of their energetic youngsters - people not bound up with the presumptions of what will and what won't work.

Young successors in waiting who will carry the family's banner into the next generation with even greater success than the folks who've gone before them.

About the Author: An effective succession planning outcome must begin succession plan sooner rather than later. Decisions made early can have a dramatic effect on all relevant parties. Leaders embrace the succession planning process.
