Richard J. Bryan is a Leadership Keynote Speaker, Business Growth and Succession Planning Expert
He partners with senior leaders and business owners to help them with proven business growth, crisis management and succession planning strategies.
Here’s Why
Almost 60% of US based companies have no succession plan for the future of their business.
Most business owners have no contingency strategy for personal income or the wellbeing of their employees if something unexpected happens to them.
It’s easy to overlook the current financial benefits that result from a future succession plan.
Richard Learned This Lesson The Hard Way.
At age 28, he became the CEO of a 100-year-old family business, which was six months from bankruptcy. With the help of an unexpected mentor named Frank, Richard was able to turn the company around leading to strong profits, top-ranked customer service due to team performance, and sustainable growth in new brand franchises. The foundation for their growth and eventual highly-profitable sale was a strong succession plan that connected all stakeholders under one vision.
For over two decades, Richard has worked alongside business owners and senior leaders to create the same level of team performance and profitability through effective succession planning strategies.
