Top Tips

  1. As a founder, be really clear not just about the legacy you want for your business to have, but your own personal goals too, and what letting go of the business might look like.
  2. Try to understand and communicate what success will look like – for the business owner, for new leaders, and for employee owners.
  3. While it’s best to start off in the right place, there’s always room to fine tune your governance or how you engage employees at all stages of your EO journey.
