An article authored by Partner Susan Schroeder was published by the National Association of Corporate Directors. Susan discusses several aspects of corporate governance that are important to family businesses and may require different treatment than at venture-backed private companies or public companies. The key issues discussed are corporate strategy, succession planning, recruiting and retaining key talent, and performance evaluations. When discussing these issues, it is important for family business board members to communicate with all stakeholders in a transparent manner and to ensure that all relevant parties have a voice in conversations related to the business.
CAP Partner, Susan Schroeder, discusses what private companies can do to remain competitive in the current economic environment and be able to attract and retain the talent needed to run their businesses.

There is also a renewed focus on company culture and an organization being considered a “good” place to work.
