In this Succession Stories episode, – When the episode first aired in 2021, Karen emerged as a leader who, despite initial reluctance, embraced her role with a combination of curiosity and determination. Under her guidance, the company leaned into strategic growth and innovation, reaping the rewards of her vision.
Since that conversation, life took an unexpected turn with the passing of Karen’s father later that year. However, thanks to a well-prepared succession plan, both Karen and the company were ready to navigate this significant transition. Laurie brings this episode back as a powerful reminder of the importance of foresight, resilience, and the impact of a thoughtfully executed succession strategy.
