Show Notes
Join John Sherk as he shares a compelling story of navigating leadership transitions in a boutique business. Over the course of a decade, John mentored a young founder who, at 33, has built a remarkable company but struggles with the challenges of scaling up. Now, at 55, John has stepped into the role of interim COO, not only to guide the company's growth but to develop the next generation of leadership. John will discuss how he's strategically planning for a 5 to 10-year transition, preparing the company for an eventual exit while ensuring its current and future leaders are equipped to sustain success. Learn how this model of "mentorship in action" is filling crucial leadership gaps, aligning with long-term business goals, and creating a roadmap for both personal and organizational growth.
