Leadership succession in family businesses is more than a handover — it’s a complex, multi-stakeholder transformation. The latest WIFU practical guide, Succession to the Management Role – How to Succeed (2025) by Michael M. Meier and Prof. Dr. Tom A. Rüsen, offers a comprehensive blueprint to support this pivotal transition.
Drawing from 25 years of applied research and consulting expertise, the guide outlines key success factors: early planning, alignment of generational expectations, professional onboarding, and active involvement of family governance bodies. With case studies and hands-on tools, it empowers business families to turn succession into a shared development journey.
