Growing Global SME's & Understanding Succession Thinking (with Bill Withers) - Ep. 216
In today's Author Corner, our very own Director of Learning and author Danette Fenton-Menzies chats with another author; Bill Withers.
Bill started as a computer programmer (software engineer) before he discovered succession thinking by being an SME Owner-Leader from 1987 to 2023. Three different SMEs with different visions and purposes made up this 36 year journey, including most recently Adapt. He has also worked as an owner, director, organisation leader & team leader. And now he is an author sharing all his insights in his new book; Succession Thinking
In this chat, Bill emphasises the need for role clarity and building a strong owner's vision. He believes that SMEs have the potential to be the future of capitalism, as they distribute power, wealth, and enrich communities. He also highlights the need for a shift in mindset from short-term thinking to long-term sustainability. Danette and Bill also share the way conversations and actions focused on SME stewardship can help drive this change.
