Only 3% of family businesses survive into the fourth generation and beyond due to a lack of succession planning and qualified successors. Leadership training programs can help improve current business effectiveness, prepare successors, and increase confidence for both parents and children. The Emerging Leaders Program is a quarterly workshop series designed for family and closely-held businesses that helps participants gain a better understanding of themselves, learn proven leadership strategies, and develop a valuable peer network to support passing the family business torch to the next generation.
