The conversation takes a turn into the Shakespearean drama of sibling rivalry and the complexities of choosing a successor—whether the mantle should rest on the shoulders of bloodline or be entrusted to an outsider's capable hands. Michael's recount of real-world business sagas underscores the intensity and sensitivity that lace the journey of leadership transition, illuminating the necessity for expert guidance through this precarious path.As we wrap up this episode, Michael gifts us his playbook for networking and business growth, championing a presence at industry events that prioritises learning and connection over aggressive sales pitches. He shares tactics for leveraging platforms like the Family Business Association to weave a strong web of referrals and details how social media, specifically LinkedIn, can serve as a loudspeaker for recruitment efforts. The culmination of our chat with Michael is a reflection on the gratification derived from a career built on passion and perseverance, leaving us with insights that resonate far beyond the sphere of recruitment.· Our Website is: xrecruiter.io · Podcast Hotline: 0485 865 483 · Join Our Discord: https://discord.gg/acGZHJKTWt

Keeping it in the family The most powerful business group in Australia isn't the major internationals or big corporates. It's not the ASX listed companies that works for shareholders, it's those that have put their own dollars, assets, blood, sweat and tears into their businesses. The true engine of the Australian economy is the family business. Family Business Australia (FBA) is the group that represents, supports, and networks the businesses that employ such a large proportion of the Australian population. It is an organisation that provides the leadership and education to businesses that have a very different makeup to that of a non-family business. There are different challenges and advantages that a family business experiences with topics like secession planning and governance high on the agenda. Jeff Ash is the WA State Chairman and National Board member of Family Business Australia and a family business owner himself. Jeff shares some wonderful insights into the world of family businesses and what drives, motivates and keeps them focussed. Jeff is a sought-out commentator on business and can give a very accurate view and maybe one that is more measured on the real issues faced by businesses. Education and Connection is what Jeff talks about as being the major drawcard for any family business to be involved with FBA. With the country pushing itself out of this pandemic, the government looking to wind back the economic stimulus and getting back on track we need some very strong leadership. You will be hearing a lot more from Jeff and FBA in the media as we fight our way out of 2020.

David spent 25 years as a senior executive and Director of Smorgon Consolidated Industries which was one of Australia's largest family companies. Since then he has held a number of positions, notable president of the Western Bulldogs Football club, and the inaugural chairman of Family Business Australia. Today he shares his wisdom as a well-regarded consultant to successful family business, where he asserts that most family businesses fail for family reasons not business reasons.  During this podcast David talks about transitions in business and life. How these transitions are inevitable and bring with them both good news and bad news. Everyone loves the good news, but it's how we deal with the bad news, the failures, disappointments, that really matters. It's not what happens, but our attitude and how we deal with it that counts. He councils us to regard failure as a detour, not a defeat. Treat it as a learning experience that if we can accept the lesson can move us forward to new heights. Love the 3 fundamental questions he asks of any potential partner:   Who are you? (do I like you? - are you friendly, humble, do you smile, do you care beyond yourself) What do you stand for? (what are the beliefs, principles and values that drive your behaviour) Where are you going? (what do you want to achieve)   David also believes that most businesses, families and individuals could experience even greater success if they have written answers to these questions ... "the faintest ink is better than a distant memory"   His final lesson for my youngest daughter - and all of us - is you can only do so much by yourself.  You need the involvement of others to increase your chances of experiencing a fulfilling, meaningful and successful life.   David's website is http://pointmade.com.au/

Starting his work life as a graduate in engineering out of university, Steve has had several career changes.  He makes an interesting distinction between a business that has been “corporatized” with its command and control leadership style,  where shareholder return on equity is the dominant focus. And a business that has been “professionalised with a soul” with its collaborative inclusive leadership style, where money making is in support of a higher purpose that does good in the world,  which more fully engages all stakeholders - staff, customers and shareholders. Steve quotes many examples of the benefits of the latter approach, including WholeFoods from the USA, which substantiates the validity of such an approach. He then goes onto talk about his attraction to both Family Business Australia www.fambiz.org.au  and recently Conscious Capitalism ww.consciouscapitalism.org.au. Lastly he talks about saying Yes to opportunities even if you don't have all the skills just yet.  Steve con be contacted at sdsamson54@gmail.com
