Absolutely, finding the right balance is key. Strategic reflection and occasional evening contemplation can indeed contribute to long-term performance by allowing leaders to assess challenges, plan strategically, and foster innovation. It's about understanding when to disconnect for personal rejuvenation and when intentional reflection can enhance leadership effectiveness. The nuanced approach you mention recognizes the complexities of leadership and tailors the balance to the specific demands of the role.

In a family enterprise, leadership continuity is essential as the enterprise transitions from one generation to the next. The most critical phase in the life of a family business is the succession phase. The high mortality rate of family-owned businesses is linked to failures in the succession process, when many family businesses encounter problems due to a lack of adequate planning and preparation of next generation leaders. A well-planned and executed succession transition is not exclusive to business leadership: we know that successful transitions on the board, in the ownership group, in the family and throughout the entire enterprise are also crucial—and that aligning them is an art form. https://lnkd.in/eHGWufrf
