Whether you want to sell some or all of your business, or simply step away from day-to-day business activities – you should be asking if your company can run by itself or it’s time to step aside to hire a CEO to replace yourself.

Why would you want to do this? Understanding your strengths (and weaknesses) is the key to the success of your business. This session will help you better understand the steps to ensuring your team and business can run by itself, and if it’s time to consider stepping out of the way of a new CEO to position your business for greater growth, a longer legacy and/or a more successful transition.

Pro-tip: A business that can run by itself is usually more appealing to acquirers.

This session will help you better understand:

  • Practical steps to remove yourself from the day-to-day operations of your business
  • The process of management and leadership succession planning – and its impact on the value of your business
  • Determining if it’s time to consider stepping out of the way of a new CEO to position your business for greater growth, a longer legacy and/or a more successful transition.
  • Tips for hiring the right team and/or CEO successor to help grow your business
