8. The owner family & committees

Professional onboarding for managers and companies

OutPlacement-News: The manager often has direct contact with the owner and their family. What should you bear in mind here?

NewPlacement.com: You should not only value the owner, but also the entire family and take them seriously. Otherwise, their communal "dinner table" can become a danger for the manager. The owner often has incomprehensible worries about his company, even for others. The manager must deal with this intensively. The so-called "subjective entrepreneurship" is very helpful and is rewarded.

OutPlacement-News: In addition to the owner, you often have to deal directly with the committees. How do you deal with them?

NewPlacement.com: Many former managers find themselves on supervisory boards or advisory boards and want to play an active role there. An external advisory board often also wants to prove its importance to the owner in these bodies. In the case of direct contact, the manager should actively request the advisory service. Any overstepping of boundaries should be dealt with diplomatically. Even justified reprimands by the manager are usually "punished" in the long term.
