    Keeping it in the Family: What You Need to Know About Family Succession in Business

    Many business owners dream of one day handing their business down to the next generation. However, what seems like a straight-forward transaction can often turn into an emotional affair that brings up difficult conversations and questions. From differences in opinion on who should be an organization’s next leader to the discovery that family succession isn’t a viable option at all, there are many factors that can impact the success of a transition plan. On today’s podcast, Eide Bailly Partner Chad Flanagan discusses how families can approach this process in a way that ensures everyone is on the same page, common challenges families face and how business owners can start now to lay the groundwork for a smooth transition. “Stepping back, going through a succession planning process, it’s really as much a strategic planning process as anything to say, what are our goals? How fast do we want to grow? How aggressive do we want to be? How much risk do we want to take? We find naturally that generation one probably wants to minimize risk and protect their assets and their investments, and generation two wants to grow and conquer the world and so they want to take risks. And they fight on a daily basis about operational issues because they view the direction of the company in two very different ways.” – Chad Flanagan Guest Info: Chad Flanagan Partner Eide Bailly

    Leading through Change: Lessons Learned in the C-Suite

    The last two years have put a spotlight on one of the most important skills a leader must develop—how to lead through change. Dave Stende, former Managing Partner/CEO of Eide Bailly, is our guest on this episode of the EB & Flow podcast, and he’s learned a great deal about how to do just that. Dave served as the Managing Partner/CEO of Eide Bailly for the past nine years, from 2013 to 2022 and was Chief Operating Officer for seven years before that. Dave was interviewed for the podcast just before his time as CEO was coming to a close, and he discussed what he’s learned about leadership throughout his career, what advice he has for leaders in 2022, and some of his favorite memories from his journey. [pull quote] “The one thing I've learned is the more you know, the more you realize you don't know. And I can look back on the nine years and realize at the beginning, probably I was a little naive about a few things. And I learned. And the more I learned, the more I realized, man, there's a lot I don't know. And, you know, I think in a way that probably helps because it certainly grounds you and it probably opens your mind to really hearing the opinions of others because you don't know all the answers. And you need to build a good team and you need to rely on their input and trust their decision making in the process, too.” – Dave Stende, Former Managing Partner/CEO, Eide Bailly Contact us if you have any questions about the topic of this episode or to inquire about any business challenges you are experiencing.
