by Mike Mack (Author)
Every business leaves a legacy-some by design, others by default.
At some point, the founder must confront a difficult question: What happens when I'm no longer here?
Succession is not about titles, documents, or exits-it is about preserving purpose and protecting people.
Yet many founders avoid the conversation; postponing decisions they know are inevitable. The cost of delay is steep: fractured families, destabilized companies, and legacies lost.
Succession is a business fable grounded in real-world experience. It follows two family enterprises at the same crossroads-prepare or pretend. One plans early, guided by clarity and courage. The other delays, until life forces the issue.
The book concludes with a real executive case-an unfiltered account of business tragedy and the leadership required to navigate it-along with practical frameworks and resources to help leaders move from awareness to action.
Because succession doesn't test ambition. It tests leadership.
