Culture of Leadership: Is Your Business Transition Ready?
There are countless items that business owners should be evaluating when they are approaching the sale, or even a transition of any kind, of their business! However, there is a key, initial question they should be asking themselves: Is my business transition ready?
On the latest episode of Lessons by the Lake, we welcome Chris Smith, Founder of Campfire Effect, for a deep dive into this very question. Oftentimes, in order for your business to truly be ready for a transition, your business needs to have a culture of leadership that flows throughout it.
We explore what this culture of leadership looks like and how it can be attained!
