About this listen
The Future Leader is a business fable that serves as a practical resource, offering guidance to prepare for leadership while navigating the unique challenges of family dynamics and business responsibilities. Follow a candid dialogue between Jordan, a new successor, and Kelly, a family friend who has years of firsthand experience in the trials of succession. When Jordan seeks advice, Kelly commits to mentoring and sharing hard-earned wisdom in the development of leadership skills. Through their conversation, listeners will gain a fresh perspective on the role of a successor and discover actionable insights they can apply within their own family businesses.
The author, Patti Durand, grew up in a family business near Teulon, Manitoba, Canada. Her career has included agriculture, marketing, and finance, while managing businesses alongside her husband, Larry. The Future Leader draws on the many lessons she observed while coaching and facilitating hundreds of family business conversations. Patti often wondered, What if successors started preparing for leadership earlier and were encouraged to lead the process? This book is her offering to help create that possibility.
