As a result, successors struggle to establish credibility and find their own authentic leadership style. Based on research with successors of family business legends such as Massimo Ferragamo, Bill Wrigley Jr. and John Tyson, this program shares the challenges and resulting strategies to prepare the next generation of leaders to establish credibility, persevere through failure, and honor the past while charting a "way forward." To be successful, family members need to create their own identity and step out of the shadows to be the effective leader the business needs. Andrew Keyt is the Founder and President of Keyt Consulting, prior Executive Director of Loyola University’s Family Business Center and part of a family business.
