I interview my co-host Doug Stewart about his talk at Furniture Today’s Future Leader’s Conference. Doug’s talk was three talks in one. He spoke about succession, leadership, and mentorship.
Doug points out the pitfalls of a bad hand-off in a family business. If you will be transitioning a business soon, don’t miss this! He dives deep into several types of bad hand-offs that can all be avoided with awareness. Many owners and soon to be owners share personality traits that help make them successful. Those same traits can make a good hand-off almost impossible unless both parties come to the table armed with understanding and awareness.
I point out the need for all stores to fully develop their unique selling proposition to maximize their stores potential. Doug defines leadership in a new and different way.
He shares a lesson that he learned while taking his daughter Kendall skating. Doug shares his formula for responsibility for the mentoring relationships in your life. He shares the 5.5 mentors that we all should have. Don’t miss this episode. Don’t miss Doug’s metaphor about swinging Kendall at the playground.
