In this episode of STM’s People Solutions podcast, Sue and Alyssa are joined by Sydney Walsh, a senior at Boston University’s Questrom School of Business.  Full disclosure, Sydney is Sue’s daughter!  Normally we wouldn’t have family members on the show, but Sydney had been sharing her ups and downs of the job search and had some interesting insight to share with those listeners who are trying to attract new graduates.

 

·         What do college students find attractive in the candidate experience?

·         What obstacles and challenges do they face?

In this podcast episode, Art and Sue are joined by George Foster of Foster Marketing to talk about his “succession journey” which involved transitioning ownership to an internal successor.  He talks candidly about how he determined who would succeed him and how he was able to make that happen.

 

·         Answer the question, do you want a lifestyle business or a legacy business?

·         It’s never too early to start.

·         Determining the “who” (people) will drive the “how” (legal and financial).

·         The best exit plan may not be a transfer to an external buyer, but to a valued employee.
