Welcome to the Leadership Lounge, a place to kick back and listen as our experts dissect some of the biggest questions leaders face today.
I'm Emma Coombe, Leadership Advisor in our London office and host of the Leadership Lounge Podcast.
In today's episode, we're talking about one of the most important challenges regarding leadership in family enterprise how to build trust as an outside CEO.
Leadership transitions are high stake moments for any family enterprise.
McKinsey found that only around one third of family businesses improved performance in the period immediately following a CEO succession.
Regardless of whether the incoming leader was a family member or an outsider.
So when you become CEO of a family enterprise, you're stepping into a complex ecosystem of relationships and long-held values.
While you may have been hired for your expertise, your success will ultimately depend on the trust you build and how well you walk the tightrope between respecting the family's legacy and leading the business into the future.
Today, our experts will share their insights on how outside CEOs can navigate these challenges and thrive as the steward of a family enterprise.
Before we get started, remember to share any burning questions you want our experts to answer by emailing redefiners at russellrynolds.com.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Before we get into how to build trust as a new leader in a family enterprise, I wanted to first explore what it feels like to take on this type of role and why it is so different from leading other organizations.
I'd like to welcome Hugo Healing, a leadership advisor in our London office, who works closely with family enterprises and the leaders who run them.
Hugo, welcome to the Leadership Lounge.
