When it comes to family business succession, will dysfunction prevail? Eva Fischer was the chair of the family business, Brunata, one of Scandinavia's largest clean-tech companies, and at the helm during its turnaround. Eva talks candidly with host Laurie Barkman about how the business consumed the family, and caused relationships to become dysfunctional.
Family problems became company problems and there was a negative spiral. Eva was a dark horse in a succession process that eventually led to the sale of the 450+ employee business to a strategic buyer in Germany. Now as a family business advisor and speaker, Eva serves on the board of Family Business Network Denmark, and promotes openness about succession.
There are better paths you can take by having strong communications, succession planning, and good governance. Enjoy this Succession Stories episode about how sibling rivalry disrupted the succession of a family business with Eva Fischer.
