Family Businesses did especially well in riding the rising tide. Family Businesses were the particular beneficiaries of three decades of favorable global economics. Propelled by fast growth in the emerging world, the share of Family Businesses in the global Fortune 500 grew from 15% in 2005 to 19% in 2013. Five years ago, founders or their families owned 60% of emerging-market companies with sales of $1 billion or more. By 2025, an additional 4,000 companies may join the list. Family-owned businesses would represent 40% of the world's large enterprise.

However, despite the growing power and influence of Family Businesses, executives and investors have a poor understanding of the unique attributes providing the edge. It is difficult to parse the DNA of Family Businesses. It is a complex mix of family, management, and wealth creation, all overlaid with a rolling ownership dynamic that claims all but 30% of them. This 30% is claimed by the 3rd generation.

The number one worry of family owners is the challenge of developing the next generation as motivated and responsible shareholders. Addressing this concern is critical to the long-term sustainability of Family Businesses. It calls for both technical and interpersonal focus.

A key component of Succession Planning for Family Businesses is also preparing the next generation to take over. This presentation provides 2 critical elements in preparing the next generation for Succession.

1. The 3-prong Approach to Maintaining Entrepreneurial Spirit
2. The 3 Principles in Engaging the Next Generation

Having a good grasp of the 2 critical elements will give Family Businesses the impetus to drive the next generation's continued success in leading the organization.

This deck also includes slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
