Meghan Juday is a fourth-generation leader and Chairman of the Board of Ideal Industries, a 100+ year old family business.  In this episode Meghan talks about her journey to become the first woman leader in the family business, and some of the lessons about family and governance she learned along the way. Thanks for listening! We love our listeners! Drop us a line or give us guest suggestions here.   Links: Meghan Juday website and bio   The Lodis Forum   Board Refreshment: 50% of boards have at least one director who is no longer adding value; how do you know if you are the “one”?   Big Ideas/Thoughts/Quotes: How I started in the family business “I got a phone call from my dad, I had a three-week-old at the time, and he called me and said, "Now that you don't have anything to do, can you just come work on this project?" But you know what's crazy? It's like people talk about how challenging parenting was and I was like all kind of ready to go, and that three-week-old sleeps all the time. I was poised and ready for the big onslaught.  I was thinking, what's the big fuss is about, this is fine, and so I said yes to this opportunity.  Honestly, had he called me with a six-month-old, I would've been like talk to me in three years.” Family Governance When I joined the board, I became intrigued with the interplay between family governance and corporate governance.  In talking with other families, a lot of times family businesses will have a very strong corporate board and they'll put a lot of time and investment into it, but they kind of starve the family as something that's not important. I n my mind, family governance has to be equally invested in and taken just as seriously. “My rule of thumb is family businesses should expect to spend and invest as much on their family, their family engagement, risk mitigation, and family education as they do on their corporate board.” Family Governance: “The structure necessary to keep a disorderly system (the family) ordered.” I think that the family, like any system, really wants to descend into chaos. A lot of decision makers, a lot of influences, everybody wants the key roles, everybody wants to be able to tell the CEO what to do. I mean, I'm saying this hyperbolically, but it's really important that family governance is intentional. “One of the conversations that we have in our Family Council every year is what is going to change in the next 10 years whether or not we have a plan. We look at several different systems, we look at the families.  We have all those cute 8-year-olds, in 10 years they're going to be 18 – we better have a plan. We had better have talked to them about the company. They better have been exposed to the family between now and then.” “Family Assembly” is really just the term we use for the entire family.  We do quarterly calls with our CEO to talk about business updates, have a quarterly call with our CFO to do financial overview and do education and training around just being comfortable with understanding some of these financial dynamics. And then we have an expert series as well where we bring in subject matter experts on various topics that may have some relevance. We changed our compensation committee to also embrace culture because we want to make sure that the compensation is driving the culture we intend as well as the business results. I really think the board needs to be kind of forward leaning or future leaning and have the skillset sets and expertise of where the company wants to go directionally, strategically. Changing the paradigm What's so interesting about the previous generations being so thoughtful and thinking with such a stewardship mindset, is that they saw our family basically had two branches, and depending on who died first, voting control would flip flop between the branches. But they really just wanted to work together. If you harmonize the elections, then you don't have these big swings, and so they decided unanimously to put all of their voting shares into this Voting Trust. They still get the financial benefit of that, but the voting control goes to the trustees and the people who own voting shares, they can remove a voting trustee at the drop of a hat as well. There's like a lot of moving parts in making sure that the voting trust is working on behalf of the full interest of the family. It took time for the family to adjust to the fact they have a voice, they have a say, they have insights to share, that it wasn't all just top down. That really did take time, but I think we are seeing some very positive results We noticed in my generation that we had some dysfunctional communication dynamics, that were really making it hard for us. We had all this amazing governance, but it was really making it hard for us to make proactive steps forward, and so a bunch of the fourth generation, I was super proud of them, decided that they did not want those kind of dysfunctional dynamics to be continued and passed down to their children as it was to us. We hired a licensed therapist who specializes in family business dynamics, and we did therapy as a group every two weeks for two years and we did a lot of like one-on-one therapy as well with the therapist, and it was so unpleasant…it was super challenging and very stressful. However, we've made progress. During that therapy process, it really brought the rest of that fourth generation along and said like, "Here, we've done a lot of really strong and powerful things and we've now seen all the opportunities given to those family members who feel disgruntled, and we are convinced now that they have been treated correctly and that they're not taking their ownership and their part of the issues." Having done that work, it totally shifted the dynamics, so now nobody's falling for it anymore. They used to fall for it all the time, 'Oh, you're such a victim. We feel so sorry for you," and now it's like, "You've had your opportunities, you have your resources, go fix your problem," and so it's calmed down significantly. Transformation of the Board of Directors The goal was to make changes with the board, but I was getting a lot of pushback with some of the directors. They were coming to board meetings not prepared to engage straight into conversations. They were expected to be presented to, et cetera, et cetera.   There was some undermining also going on [in the boardroom].  I had a director who offered to be chairman instead of me, and I could just stay on as vice chairman, and I was like, "Oh, my gosh, that's so nice." He's like, "Well, I'll mentor you." And I was like, "That is so nice, but how about this? I'll still be chairman and you still mentor me." And he was like, "Oh, God, that's not going to work." When I moved the first two board members off, they had been on our board for a really long time - and by the way, all these people are wonderful people - but one of them had been on our board for over 20 years. That person is not independent anymore, even if they're trying to be, you know? Board composition drives board culture.

As family businesses grow larger, get more complex, and move forward to the next stage of the business, they have to also grow as a unit and find a proper structure that will help them make important decisions and take action along the way. As a follow-up to last week's episode about exit planning and keeping the business within the family, Jonathan Goldhill will be talking about establishing a board of directors and family council. Jonathan starts off by explaining the factors you need to consider to assess if you need to start establishing a board of directors or a family council. He then moves to what a board of directors is, how you can establish it, and what a board of directors does for the business. Lastly, Jonathan talks about creating a family council, what needs to be established, how to set up a family council, and its purpose. Jonathan will be touching on family council items such as future planning, goal setting, financial planning, vacations, family finances, budgets, succession, and logistics. Tune in to learn more in this latest episode of The Disruptive Successor Show.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESJONATHAN: When to set up a board of directors“A family business should consider setting up a board of directors when it reaches a certain size, complexity, and stage of development.”JONATHAN: Composition of a board of directors “A good board is going to be made up probably of business owners, and community members from your stakeholder community.”JONATHAN: Why create a family council“A family business should consider setting up a family council when there are multiple family members involved in the business and the family wants to address issues related to the family's involvement in the business.” If you enjoyed today's episode, please subscribe, review, and share with a friend who would benefit from the message.

Ep 52. How To Develop a Family Council with Lisa & Jay Daniel of Lodge Cast Iron Join us for one of our biggest episodes yet as Lisa & Jay Daniel* of Lodge Cast Iron (Lodge Manufacturing) talk with us about how to create a family council, catch some truly precious stories of how the Lodge family stays close and how their brand evolved from it's humble beginnings. You may also catch how excited Michael is, now that he learned how to season his cast iron pans.  Share this episode with others!  Our Guests  Lisa Daniel* President & COO, Intechgrate Systems  Family Council Volunteer & 5th Generation Spouse, Lodge Cast Iron   Lisa and her husband Jay live in Sarasota, Florida where they own and operate Intechgrate Systems, an IT services company that they founded together 21 years ago.   Their 3 children have been raised surrounded by both family & business values.  Their youngest daughter is now a college freshman, so Lisa uses her newfound “empty nest time” working on Family Council projects for Lodge Cast Iron.    Lisa joined the Lodge family in 1994 when she married 5th generation family member Jay Daniel. She is very active with the Joseph Lodge Family Council.  The Family Council has spearheaded projects that include a secure family web portal, a digital interactive family tree, family archive videos, quarterly newsletters, online family happy hours and annual family gatherings. The group is currently working on an education plan that will include topics about both the family and the business.     Lisa was born and raised in a small town in Pennsylvania as part of a very large family. She and her 8 siblings are very close and have found ways to stay connected even though they are now very geographically dispersed.  Family values have always been important to Lisa, and she is lucky enough to share those values with Jay's family.   Lisa is very passionate about open communication between family, celebrating the accomplishments of individual family members, bringing all generations of the family together and capturing family history. Jay Daniel*  Jay Daniel is the CEO of Intechgrate Systems, an IT services company that he and his wife Lisa founded together 21 years ago. In 2007 he was elected to the board of another family business, Lodge Manufacturing. The cast iron cookware company was founded in 1896 by Jay's great, great grandfather, Joseph Lodge.   During his time on the board, Jay has served or chaired each of its committees. He has helped guide the successful completion of several objectives in recent years, including the adoption of an updated Stock Restriction Agreement, introduction of an annual share valuation report, and the establishment of the Joseph Lodge Family Council. Perhaps most importantly, Jay co-chaired the ad-hoc committee which navigated the leadership succession between 4th generation family members and the company's first non-family CEO and executive team.   Throughout its 125-year history, Lodge has remained committed to its employees and the South Pittsburg, TN community where its foundries are located. The same is true of much younger Intechgrate Systems and its support of the Bradenton & Sarasota, FL community. Jay is proud of what his family and these businesses have accomplished and is enthusiastic about his family's future.  ---  *not affiliated with Lincoln Financial Group  Michael Palumbos is a registered representative of Lincoln Financial Advisors Corp.

The Lang family recruited Jeff Watters as the first outside CEO to lead Ainsworth Pet Nutrition in it's 5 generations. Sean Lang and Jeff Watters worked together, partnering with a private equity firm to scale the $100m per year business into a $2 billion dollar exit over the space of a decade. This story covers not only leadership succession within a family business but also ownership succession and how the family have stayed together and united around a family office in the absence of an operating company. Standout Quotes: * "What's gotten us here, isn't going to necessarily get us there" - [Sean] * "As a family, we realized that we would have to make a pretty major change in the journey... And we made the choice to start that journey from family-owned and family-run, to family-owned and professionally-run" - [Sean] * "I think in any family business, there's a certain level of distraction or disruption that comes from the family, and if you can move that into the family council and outside of the board room, it seems to be better for everybody" - [Jeff] * "The family office is being driven by a stewardship theme; Leave it better than you found it" - [Sean] Key Takeaways: * Sean Lang and the Lang family represent a 5th generation business family who owned Ainsworth Pet Nutrition, while Jeff Watters is the first outside professional CEO recruited by the family to lead the business till it was finally sold. * The business started small, with deliveries made to "mom and pop" stores, expanded over the years, and all interested family members worked in the factory. After school, Sean started as a sales manager and worked his way up to be president. * The family realized that there was a need to make a major change to move with the competition and this would require great talent, moving from family-owned and family-run, to family-owned and professionally-run * Although Jeff was in a place where he wanted more in his life personally and professionally, his relationship with Sean was initially not a professional one. Following further interaction, Jeff realized the family was committed to the business, and they were authentic and intentional about their growth. * The average tenure of a Public Company CEO is about 4 years, and a Family Business CEO is about 6years, even if you think you're going to be there longer than that, you have to plan according to the statistics. * The introduction of professional leadership after 5 generations took some time, however, this had been tried previously and even though it failed, the family had started to get used to the idea. The goal had become to keep the family culture but adopt the benefit of big company thinking and growth capabilities. * The notion of an organic, natural but very transparent onboarding process is extremely helpful for professionals outside looking to join a family business. * Jeff also encourages professionals considering entry into a family business. You just have to bet on yourself to a certain extent. Once you're satisfied that the other party has high integrity and will deliver on their promises, have the conviction that you're going to deliver on yours, and if it doesn't work out, it doesn't work out. There will be other opportunities. * While Jeff's transition into the business had its hiccups, there was a lot of intentional effort from all sides to communicate effectively and create ways to tackle arising issues. This was made easier by the family culture of transitioning where the older generation completely let go of the business which allowed Sean to give Jeff the space needed. * Working with a Private Equity Company was pivotal in driving the rapid growth of the company moving from a 200 million-dollar company to a 2 billion-dollar company in 4 years. * Jeff describes that the main factor that drove growth while working with the PE Company, was a deep cultural alignment * Between the family and the company. It was all about a long strategic view of the business. * The family council was started by Sean's father, and one of the policies laid down was that incoming family members needed to work somewhere else for 2 years or until their first promotion whichever came later, before joining the business. * In the absence of an operating company, Jeff wanted to still have a family enterprise that could act as glue for the family, and help be a driver for education for the rising generation. This would also foster the creation of mechanisms to share the family history and culture with coming generations. * It's not always easy to leave it better than you found it, given the mathematical fact that families almost grow faster than businesses and assets, that means each family member needs to be self-sustaining and look at any help from the family later in life as icing on the cake, not the cake itself. * Sean shares he now has more time for family and personal relaxation, while also finding businesses to invest in. Jeff also tries to have fun, works with his wife on philanthropic projects, and serves on a number of boards. * Jeff's letter to his kids: Jeff tells them to be bold in the pursuit of what they love, hopefully, it will be something that allows them to leave this place a better place. He encourages them to take a leap of faith, the financial fortune is an opportunity for them to invest in their future in a way that can be fulfilling for them and differentiating for their community. * Sean's letter to his kids: The family business cocktail of money, love, and power is trouble. It can rip families apart easily and needs to be proactively managed within the family with the help of professionals.

Carl Bates (https://carlbates.com/) is Africa's leading educator, appointer and guide of High-Performance boards. As the Founding Partner of Sirdar (https://sirdargroup.com/), he is world renowned for his practical understanding of governance and is constantly invited to share his knowledge and insight on the subject - in Africa, Sirdar is the largest provider of independent non-executive directors to private companies and family businesses. As a G2 entrepreneur, Carl works closely with his Mother and spouse in his family property business in New Zealand, bringing real world insights to his professional service clients. Carl is particularly passionate about how boards can transform and scale-up privately-held and family companies. Standout Quotes: * "There's a difference between craftsmanship and entrepreneurship" - [Carl] * "And I like the term 'Contribution', it's all about what we have to give and finding ways of being more effective in that" - [Carl] * "I think having a purpose as a business is fundamental to what building longevity in any business is about" - [Carl] * "In businesses, we can see a direct correlation between the makeup of the group of people at the top and the financial performance of the business" - [Carl] * "It is a privilege that a family has when they're right at the beginning of the journey, and they make the decision to become a family business... and they put in place the structures at that point because it's a lot less emotional to argue about something that is 10 or 20 years out, than being in the middle of that thing in 20 years time" - [Carl] * "Families need to define 'well, what does family mean to you?' - [Carl] * "The larger the number of beneficiaries of the family, the bigger the governance framework needs to be at a family level" - [Carl] * "There's no such thing as an 'Original Mistake', there are so many families and so many boards around the world who have done this so many times before you, that rather than try and make an original mistake, go and see what other people have done" - [Carl] Key Takeaways: * Carl recalls he initially had no desire to live in Africa, a few years after this, he repeatedly had cause to travel there on business and realized he had to stay, creating offices all around Africa which help families and companies to develop their boards of directors. * Starting University at 15 years and becoming a chartered accountant by 21 years, he had always wondered why even though each generation of his family had successful entrepreneurs, there was no build-up and transfer of wealth to the next generation. * Knowing most of his great grandparents personally helped instill values that formed the foundation for the role he currently plays in business generally. * Carl shares that the purpose of his family business is giving people a place to call home. * Explaining the benefits and process of introducing new family members. Carl notes that the disparity in the energy levels between him, his wife, and other family members, allows for productivity to be maximized in different areas. * So often the succession planning is focused on when the person passes away, but if we don't take other family members on a journey of understanding the business over time, when the time comes they won't have the understanding of it to enable a successful transition. * The Contribution Compass is a tool used to understand family members as individuals, their personalities, and predict the expected roles they would play in the family. It is also used in business as a commercial tool since there is a direct correlation between the make-up of business leaders in any business and the success of that business. * Regarding the formality surrounding the entry of other family members into the family business, Carl discloses that nothing would be gifted and members would have to buy into the business. He also emphasizes the need to legalize every aspect of this entry as he recommends for his clients too. * I encourage family members to deal with things when they're not topical because that's when it's least emotional. * Regarding planning ahead for families, the best place to start is to understand that being a shareholder doesn't necessarily mean sitting around the board table. It is also important to understand Family Governance from the perspective of defining what family means to each member. * The Governance structure is predominantly focused on determining directly family-related issues but the Operational Board side is driven by the underlying Family business. This is where families go wrong; when they cannot differentiate between Family Governance and Governance of a Profit Generation Entity. * While sometimes the family traditions do serve the purpose of bonding, in other cases, there is some resentment on the expectations from different family members based on such traditions. * From Carl to his kids: It is important to spend time with your grandparents and great grandparents or people connected to them from that generation because there are threads that enable you to understand how your family has developed, and what the core values or cornerstones of success for you family are, through that time of engagement. Episode Timeline: * [00:49] Introducing today's guest, Carl Bates * [04:04] Carl shares his professional backstory. * [14:28] The purpose of Carl's family business. * [16:17] Apart from you and your mother, are there other family members involved? * [22:43] The Contribution Compass * [28:00] In terms of families planning ahead, where do we start? * [30:39] Where does the distinction lie between a Family Council and the Operating Board? * [34:33] Differentiating between a Family Council and a Family Forum. * [36:45] What is one of the biggest challenges that families have when trying to put a governance structure in place for the first time? * [38:12] Comparing an Operational Family Business with one that is just "stewarding the wealth". * [43:50] How are families celebrating their uniqueness and traditions over the years? * [48:50] Carl's letter to his kids.

50 Common Causes of Family Business Conflict ... and how to deal with them Audio No 31: Decision Making: Family & Business. • Many business families, even large and sophisticated ones, don't have any coherent form of problem solving or decision making process. Up to a point, decisions can be made autocratically, without concern for scrutiny or opposition. Beyond a tipping point, this no longer works, and family members, and/or employees, object to decisions being made without their input, or insist on decisions being made with their input. • This is often seen as a challenge. It may be accepted willingly, opposed violently, or anything in between. • Strategic decisions are big decisions that may have a major impact on the family and or the business. • Big decisions cannot safely be made without adequate information, due consideration and appropriate consultation. Solution: • As a family or business group, develop and commit to a formal problem solving and decision making process, appropriate to circumstances. • Practice using the process on small matters before putting it to the test on important, strategic issues. • Document decisions made according to due process for a Board, Family Council, etc. I'm interested in your comments below. Thank You #familybusiness #business #conflict

The names "Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery," "Addiction Treatment Delray," "Recovery House Delray Beach"South Beach Miami" is a nice way to describe the successful, alcohol and drug addiction treatment center in the South Florida area. You may want to consider this center for your next visit to Florida because you may need help getting your life back on track after being faced with an addiction issue."This Rehabilitation Center is a gem," says Andrea Hebert, who attended the same rehab center as many of her friends. "We saw a few people at a friend's party that were snorting something. We asked what it was and were informed that it was cocaine.When they came in, one friend was a snorting addict and in need of a new life, according to Hebert. "She said she had been in a car accident and her nose was broken and she would have to go through physical therapy so that she could walk," Hebert says.https://goo.gl/maps/kmgRemhoHufen4sP8https://goo.gl/maps/aQsK8iQWuWahTwi6Ahttps://goo.gl/maps/5MbvopxCNFWukeHq9https://t.co/sfI0FyloNa?amp=1https://t.co/QV1zfkXlRJ?amp=1https://t.co/zNOhRAoxwc?amp=1https://earth.google.com/web/data=Mj8KPQo7CiExV0NZU0RBR0M4UllWeDJCQ1ppMW40S2xGeFczMFFwM0QSFgoUMEMzQTgzMTYyOTE0MjQyOTBBOUMThey use a simple technique to assess members to see if they have a problem. Once a person has been tested, then they can be admitted."They use a system called detox," explains Weber. "It is like regular detox, but they separate the alcoholics and addicts from the non-addicts and you get to do your own detox."Family members that are interested in doing alcohol and drug addiction recovery, are expected to take one group session each week. They will have to stay sober and give up their alcohol and drugs by the end of the year.So, it is a win-win situation for those that are looking for a support group and alcohol and drug addiction recovery. To keep alcohol and drug addiction in check, the Family Council meetings are held weekly.When people join the rehab, they know they can come for an "induction" every Friday and Saturday, except for Sundays, when the group holds its regular meeting. And of course, it is closed to the public, so there are no worries about leaving any confidential information with anyone, including the Police.Transformations Treatment Center14000 S Military Trail, Delray Beach, FL 33484FV9H+MC Delray Beach, Floridahttps://www.transformationstreatment.center/delray-beach-flAddiction Treatment in Delray Beach, FLFind Transformations Treatment on Google Maps!Videos:https://youtu.be/Xah8-4HnNRchttps://vimeo.com/432728057More Information:https://transformationstreatment1.blogspot.com/2020/06/addiction-treatment-delray-beach.htmlSupport the show (https://www.google.com/maps?cid=9720609399900639450)

[5:45] Michelle makes it a priority for herself to weave mindfulness in throughout the day. She shares the different ways we can practice it, whether it’s taking a moment to make eye contact a few seconds longer with our children, meditating in the morning or evening, or using a meditation app for even 5 minutes a day. You can check out Michelle’s 7 Day Series on the app Simple Habit. [8:53] In knowing ourselves, we create the conditions for peace in ourselves and our communities. If we want a generation that is awake, we need to awaken ourselves first. [11:08] Michelle revealed in her book that so much of her anxiety as a parent came from a fear of screwing up. She reached a turning point when she realized she wanted to focus on the magic that was her actual kids, instead of the story about them and about how things should be, that she was seeing through a “should” filter. [14:44] Moments where we overreact and make mistakes as parents become an opportunity for growth, and serve as a teaching moment for ourselves and our children on the importance of handling stress and taking care of ourselves. [20:02] Michelle shares the experience of enlisting her son Tyler as her teacher to help notice patterns of reactivity and then remind her to breathe. [24:14] I read an amazing excerpt from Michelle’s book on her take on teenage behavior, unmet needs, and the evolutionary response to separate in adulthood. [28:25] Meditation may be the formal practice, and mindfulness can be done everywhere at any time. [31:18] Michelle teaches Mindful Listening to her family and recommends starting out a Family Council in small bits at a time, so everyone practices getting a chance to both listen and speak. Her own Council has evolved over time and is something that has helped strengthen the family and make each member feel seen and heard. [35:26] Michelle’s first Online Summit has a star-studded, wonderful cast of people talking about all aspects of parenting.

Herding Cattle... A very special family I've been working with closely, held their Family Council meeting in Bondi this week, which was a great opportunity to sit down with the next generation of the family. Here we have 3 bright, thoughtful young adults reflecting on the past two years of experiences, challenges and successes in the development of their family office. In this discussion we considered goal setting in a family context, values, philanthropy and family dynamics. This episode gets to the core of our process and captures many insights for families considering this work.
