Founders, Successors, Managers by Adizes Associate Boris Vukić - Ebook

Leadership succession, especially within family businesses, is one of the most challenging transitions. When a founder, who has devoted their life to building an organization, passes leadership to the next generation, conflicts often arise. The new leader may lack experience and seek to fulfill their own vision, diverging from the founder's original intent. This can lead to strained relationships, miscommunication, and deep emotional pain on both sides, sometimes even causing family rifts. Navigating these challenges requires a deep understanding of the complex dynamics at play.
