Description
What I Wish I Would've Known - Lessons from Multi-Generational Leaders
Join us for an engaging and candid conversation with seasoned family business leaders who will share the hard-won wisdom they've gained across generations. You'll hear firsthand accounts of pivotal moments, critical decisions, and valuable insights that shaped their leadership journeys - along with the lessons they wish they'd learned earlier.
Whether you’re a next-generation leader preparing to take the helm, a current owner planning for the future, a non-family executive helping guide the business forward, or a trusted family business advisor, you’ll walk away with practical strategies and perspectives that can only come from those who have lived through these experiences.
Panelists:
Diane Grote Adams, Owner - Safex
John Kelley, Chief People Officer - White Castle
Howard Smith, President - Wilson Bohannan Lock Company
Facilitated by: Jim Bishop, RICP®, QPFC, CDFA®, CEPA® Morgan Stanley
