The Book Leads – Episode 29: Nike Anani & Lifetime to Legacy: A New Vision for Multigenerational Family Businesses
For this episode, Nike Anani guides me through the nature of her work as a Succession Specialist who guides families in preparing family businesses to live on beyond this generation, the next and those that follow. Her career journey began after returning to her homeland of Nigeria, after having lived and studied abroad, to move the family business forward.
What I took away from this great conversation is how we can all consider that successional mindset, to declare and work for what will be here beyond our work today and that of the generation that follows us. There’s being reactive to the world around us, and then there’s being proactive about what steps we’re going to take, how we’re going to work together, and how our name and mission will live – and thrive – beyond our lifetimes.
Some highlights we touch upon in this episode:
- How society can tend to be about façade and veneers, but trauma can bring something beautiful, and that the failures and hardships allow us to learn so much – even in the family business.
- How perspective can be everything, allowing us to realize what we have when we step away and come back with fresh and opened eyes.
- The writing process and what worked for Nike
The MAIN QUESTION for you, which underlies my conversation with Nike is, How do you go about setting up your legacy, whether individually, as a business, or as a family?
