And yet, the evidence clearly shows that ensuring a family succession is a very difficult challenge that often ends in failure. This article, which is based on coaching experiences spread over a period of 15 years and involving 11 company founders, provides us with insight into the human factors at work within entrepreneurial families. We observe that the success of company founders is closely linked to the aggressive approach they take to managing their businesses. This aggressiveness is related to three attributes possessed by these founders: a strong focus (they are constantly thinking about their company); independent thinking (they are independently minded); and a strong vitality (they have a lot of energy). However, while this aggressive approach can be an advantage for the founder’s business, it can work against members of the founder’s family – that is, the spouse or future successors. Our study shows that the spouse of a company founder often plays a decisive role in the success or failure of a succession, because the spouse must focus his or her attention on the family and act as a buffer against the aggressiveness of the founder so that their children can develop the skills and aggressiveness necessary to become successors who will be successful in business.ResumenGran número de propietarios de empresa se ven con la necesidad de pensar en el relevo. Ha de reconocerse, sin embargo, que es muy difícil llevar a cabo una sucesión familiar y que muchas de ellas fracasan. Basándose en experiencias de acompañamiento a 11 fundadores de empresas, llevadas a cabo en el transcurso de quince años, en este artículo se ofrecen elementos para mejor entender la dimensión humana en el seno de las familias empresariales. Se observa que su éxito los fundadores de empresa lo deben a la agresividad que han demostrado en la conducción de sus negocios, la cual reposa sobre tres características que poseen: una gran capacidad de centrar su atención (piensan constantemente en su empresa), un pensamiento autónomo (tienen un espíritu muy independiente) y una gran vitalidad (tienen mucha energía). Si bien dicha agresividad por parte de los fundadores es beneficiosa para los negocios, ésta puede resultar nefasta para los miembros de la familia, es decir para sus conyugues y sus eventuales sucesores. Nuestro estudio muestra que el esposo o la esposa del fundador suele tener una influencia determinante sobre el éxito o fracaso de la sucesión, ya que es la persona que debe concentrarse sobre la familia, actuar como barrera protectora contra la agresividad del fundador para permitir que los hijos desarrollen las competencias que les permitan ser sucesores que tengan la agresividad necesaria para ser exitosos en el mundo de los negocios.Cairn restricted access |
