New Practical Guide: Daughters in Succession
4. December 2025

With their new practical guide Daughters in Succession – How Female Successors Become Pioneers, Simon Caspary and Professor Tom A. Rüsen make a well-grounded contribution to advancing equality in family businesses. The guide not only highlights common challenges such as rigid role expectations, family pressures and questions of work–life balance, but also offers concrete approaches for female successors – from development pathways to the active involvement of partners.
It encourages business families to stop aligning succession decisions with gender roles and instead focus on competencies and potential. Now available in the WIFU Library!
