The Next Chair: Governing Tomorrow, Next Generation Leadership in Family Enterprises
About this episode
The episode discusses how family enterprises can prepare for next-generation leadership through governance and succession planning.
In this special panel episode of Legacy Builders, Cory Gagnon is joined by Barb Schimnowsky and James Grieve for a focused conversation on how family enterprises can prepare for next-generation leadership. Drawing from their work in executive search, governance, succession planning, strategy, and family enterprise advising, Barb and James examine what leadership readiness looks like beyond age, title, or family position. They discuss how governance can clarify roles and decision-making, why succession conversations are often delayed, and what families can do before the transition becomes urgent.
