Father has a small business (4-5 employees). He’s retiring, so I’m going to lead it. It’s a trading business that I’ve never worked for and have yet to understand. I’ve had a career in tech so far and that’s all I’ve ever known.
Want to do a good job and reaching out here to get advice. Also looking to understand how I can win over existing employees. They are undoubtedly disappointed the manager’s son is taking over a business that they 've worked in for >10 years without promotion.
Here’s a good leadership test ~ explain to me how your business works and how it makes enough revenue to pay overheads!
You need to be at able to do that!
