Titelbeschreibung

Vital guidance to ensuring the future of your firm G2: Building the Next Generation provides financial advisory firms with a clear roadmap to management succession. Based on the author's 17 years of experience with over 1,000 firms, this book provides a systematic process to help you identify, develop, and install the new leadership that will guide your firm's future. Extensive statistical research backs proven strategies for structuring management and succession, overcoming obstacles, selling equity, and more, while expert guidance walks you through the process and warn you of potential pitfalls along the way. A generation of entrepreneurs used their talent and ambition to build an industry; to ensure that their success lives on, those leaders now face the formidable challenge of succession. With the future of your firm at stake, how do you recruit, train, mentor, and develop the next generation of professionals, owners, and leaders? This book shows you how to find the people you need, and develop them into the leadership your firm deserves. <ul> <li>Identify and develop future leaders from the pool of existing and upcoming talent</li> <li>Structure management and management succession to ensure successful transition</li> <li>Begin selling equity to your firm's next generation of leaders</li> </ul> <ul> <li>Learn smart strategies for dealing with setbacks along the way</li> </ul> The next generation of leaders will shape the future of your firm, but collectively, they will define the future of the entire advisory industry. Firms who succeed in developing their best talent will continue to thrive—those who fail will be left with a great car, but no driver. Getting this right may be one of the most critical points of your career, and it isn't something that should be left to chance or "gut feeling". G2: Building the Next Generation gives you a solid, grounded, systematic approach for ensuring your firm's long-lived success.

PRAISE FOR G2: BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION "In his book, G2: Building the Next Generation, Philip Palaveev has done an excellent job addressing a critical element of a wealth management firm's success beyond its founders. As our industry runs into a succession crisis, it's necessary to hire, nurture, and retain experienced talent to serve our clients' future generations. As our firm has experienced, an RIA needs to plan well in advance and take into consideration all the components outlined in this book. And to be a successful next-gen professional, or G2 as Palaveev calls them, there are important things to think about as one develops his or her career. Palaveev covers the spectrum — from recruiting to managing to growing the business. He offers critical insight into the technical aspects of equity structure, ownership and governance, and succession." —Rob Francais, CEO, Aspiriant LLC "Philip Palaveev has decanted the wisdom, experience and learned best practices of the professional firms of all kinds into a 'how to' book for generational transition. He has expertly and practically explained the critical components of G2 development and transition. While this is focused on wealth management firms, any professional service firm could benefit from the lessons this book teaches." —Bob Bunting, Former CEO, Moss Adams LLP "Philip Palaveev's new work is a mission critical playbook for founders and G2 of financial advisory firms. He expertly bridges the gap between identifying the necessity of having a next generation of leaders and the practical implementation of developing them within an organization. Armed with industry data, research and years of hands on experience, he encourages founders to trust what they have built and inspires G2 to be worthy of that trust. Developing leaders takes time, energy, effort and commitment on everyone's part; however, there is no better application of those valuable resources than growth of our people, growth of our firms and growth of our industry. This book is a manifesto on how to achieve all three." —Heather Robertson Fortner, Signature FD, Partner, Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Operating Officer and G2 Leader
