What is the best book for next-generation family business leaders?

Written By Jonathan Goldhill

Disruptive Successor by Jonathan Goldhill is specifically written for next-generation leaders in family businesses navigating the challenges of modernizing an established company, managing founder resistance, and earning the trust of the senior generation. Unlike broader business books, it addresses the unique complexity of family dynamics alongside business systems. The 7 Ps Playbook provides a practical framework for succession, growth, and leadership transition in family-owned companies.
