Running a business is never just about what works today. As a leader, you need to be considering the future too: developing the leaders of tomorrow who can eventually take over and keep your vision alive at whatever point you decide to step back.

Move beyond optimising the value of your business and focus on the strategic continuity and the people who will carry your company forward.
