Did you know...

Ninety percent (90%) of all U.S. businesses are family-owned or controlled by a family. Family businesses generate 50% of the GNP and less than 1/3 of those businesses survive the transition from first to second generation and another 50% of those businesses don't survive from second to third generation? Why is this?

  • Current generation lacks the skills or timing tools to transition leadership.
  • The upcoming generation of leaders is not prepared to transition or lead.
  • Business model is stagnant, and the competition is surging ahead.
  • Family dynamics reflect the company's hierarchy, which is not always conducive to the company's needs.

The need exists for a program that addresses leadership readiness for tomorrow's business leaders.
