The presentation will explore some of the most common psychological barriers or emotional constraints business owners face as they face a transition out of a position of leadership and ownership. Often these barriers or distractions can trigger procrastination, confusion or mixed-messaging, and an overall lack of clear, consistent direction within ownership transition and management succession planning process.
The program speakers will also address issues in the current environment and business owners’ mindset going forward in a “VUCA world” filled with Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity.
