Values-Driven Succession Planning: How to Leave Something You Love

When you truly love what you do and the people you do it with, succession has its own unique challenges. It would be easy to postpone leadership changes indefinitely, and protect the status quo. In this episode, Meghan Lynch speaks with Everett and Jack Dowling of Dowling Company, a father-son team who are modeling a rare kind of leadership transition: values-driven, transparent, and accountable. From putting clear guardrails in place to acknowledging the emotional difficulty of letting go of something you love, the Dowlings share what it takes to build a company that can outlast you, and why it matters to do it before you have to. Key Topics Discussed: How Everett Dowling’s experience with his father's business shaped how he approached succession with his own children How Dowling Company set a leadership transition date, and why that clarity mattered The role of the Dowling family values (humility, integrity, hard work, opportunity) in shaping company culture, community relationships, and succession The importance of proactive guardrails for future family ownership and team cohesion Connect with Everett Dowling and Jack Dowling on LinkedIn Building Unbreakable Brands is hosted by Meghan Lynch Produced by Six-Point Strategy
