In this webinar hosted by the National Center for Employee Ownership (NCEO), Strategic Talent Partners Co-Founder Mike Frommelt outlines a disciplined approach to navigating CEO transition in employee-owned companies.
Drawing on decades of executive search experience, he introduces STP’s ESOP CEO Transition Roadmap™ – a practical framework designed to help boards and leadership teams plan early, clarify future leadership needs, and move through change with structure and alignment. Rather than treating transition as a single event, Mike emphasizes the importance of preparation, timing, and accountability throughout every stage of the process.
Key Points:
- Understand why early, intentional planning is critical in employee-owned companies.
- Learn how to evaluate your leadership bench and define the profile of your next CEO.
- Explore the board’s role in shaping timelines, governance alignment, and oversight.
- Gain guidance on maintaining trust and continuity through thoughtful communication.
- Apply the ESOP CEO Transition Roadmap™ to bring structure and clarity to each phase.
Whether your organization is years away from leadership change or actively preparing for it, this session provides a clear framework to help you lead with confidence and long-term perspective.
