After Success: What’s Next?

After Success: What’s Next?

For Evergreen entrepreneurs, building a company that will last more than 100 years means taking great care with transitions such as transferring leadership within our businesses and transferring wealth, values and stewardship within our families.

In his Tugboat Institute Summit 2016 talk, Dennis Jaffe of Wise Counsel Research encourages business owners to treat their children like partners instead of subordinates — and to speak frankly about money. By fostering a spirit of transparency, engagement and shared learning, he says, Evergreen leaders will inspire a future generation of courageous business innovators.
