The Family Affair: Making founder-led businesses work

Episode #76 // There are lots of different ownership structures that we come across in the world of business, and family owned businesses are extremely common. Some of these are relatively small, and some are massive enterprises.

One of our listeners, Owen asked "Do you have any advice for a CEO going into a family-run company?"

This episode touches on the different dynamics that can exist under the various ownership structures, and how they can affect the management team.

If you, like Owen, are the person brought in to take over a family-run business when the founder either sells, retires, or realises that she no longer has the capability to lead the business through its next phase of growth, you may find these tips quite valuable.

We’ve also created an incredibly handy free cheatsheet for you, the ‘6 Ways to Make Founder-led Businesses Work’, which you can download from www.yourceomentor.com/episode76. I encourage you to pass this on to anyone you know who is working in a founder-led business, you may give them the fresh perspective they need!
