  • Succession Challenges When Next Generation Declines

    Succession Challenges When Next Generation Declines
    Jun 26 2025
    Jeannette looks at the challenge of succession in family businesses, particularly the growing trend of the next generation opting out of leadership roles. With recent data indicating that 63% of family businesses view succession as a significant risk, Jeannette explores the reasons behind this shift, including changing career aspirations, the desire for work-life balance, and the perceived lack of autonomy within family enterprises. Jeannette explains why: Younger generations are increasingly opting out of family business leadership roles due to a desire for autonomy, diverse career options Establishing clear governance structures, such as boards and family councils, is crucial for family businesses to navigate leadership transitions effectively When no family successor is available, bringing in external executives can be beneficial. It’s essential to ensure that these leaders understand and respect the family’s legacy while being empowered to drive innovation and growth. Active family involvement in philanthropic and community initiatives helps preserve the family legacy and fosters a sense of ownership and purpose among family members Subscribe to Brave Bold Brilliant for weekly wisdom on leadership, legacy, and living boldly.

  • Generational Diversity: A Key to Winning in Sports Leadership

    Generational Diversity: A Key to Winning in Sports Leadership
    Jun 19 2025
    Jeannette explores the transformative power of generational diversity in sports and business leadership. She delves into how understanding the unique strengths and perspectives of different age groups can serve as a competitive edge for organisations. By challenging stereotypes and fostering an inclusive environment, leaders can harness the complementary strengths of older and younger generations to drive innovation and collaboration Jeannette explains why: Generational diversity goes beyond stereotypes and is shaped by the social, technological, and economic forces each generation experiences. Recognising these differences can enhance collaboration and innovation within teams. Instead of viewing generational differences as gaps to bridge, they should be seen as opportunities to leverage the unique strengths of each generation, combining the agility and digital fluency of younger leaders with the strategic oversight of experienced leaders. Establishing a culture where all team members feel safe to share ideas and express themselves is crucial for fostering innovation and collaboration across generations. Effective leadership of multigenerational teams involves strategies such as reverse mentoring, facilitating cross-generational communication, aligning on shared values, and adapting leadership styles to empower creativity.

She discusses the importance of bringing in external leaders to drive innovation and growth in an increasingly competitive market, while also emphasising the need for clarity in governance, deep cultural immersion, and a balance of autonomy with guardrails Jeannette explains why: Family businesses face the challenge of attracting top-tier executive talent while preserving their culture, values, and legacy. It's essential to find a balance between modernisation and maintaining the emotional identity of the business. Establishing clear governance structures is crucial for family enterprises. Formal frameworks help clarify decision-making processes and power dynamics, allowing external leaders to operate effectively without confusion.

  • From Brain Drain to Financial Gain: Chris Wilkins on the Tax Trends Shaping Britain

    From Brain Drain to Financial Gain: Chris Wilkins on the Tax Trends Shaping Britain
    Jun 8 2025
    In this insightful and highly practical conversation, Jeannette Linfoot welcomes back Chris Wilkins, an esteemed accountant and tax expert from Wilkins Southworth. Chris delves into his fascinating journey into the world of tax, from childhood inspiration to navigating complex international finance deals. The episode explores the significant "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals from the UK due to recent tax policy changes, discussing the economic repercussions and the critical need for up-to-date tax advice. Chris provides invaluable guidance for various financial situations: from tax-efficient strategies for startup entrepreneurs (including VAT and partnership structures) to optimizing tax for multiple business owners. He unpacks the evolving landscape of property investing in the UK, detailing the impact of Section 24 and changes affecting furnished holiday lets. A crucial segment addresses the tax implications for unmarried couples versus married couples, particularly concerning capital gains and inheritance tax, and the often-overlooked necessity of updating wills upon marriage. Finally, Chris offers vital advice for those nearing retirement, highlighting recent pension and business inheritance tax changes that could dramatically affect legacy planning. This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to understand and optimize their financial position in a constantly shifting tax environment. Top Takeaways Accountancy is a dynamic field, not just "men in grey suits." Staying current with tax legislation is crucial for effective advice. The UK is experiencing a "brain drain" of high-net-worth individuals. Changes to domicile rules are driving an exodus of taxpayers. Losing high earners impacts social services and the average person. The Laffer Curve illustrates optimal tax rates for revenue. Startup entrepreneurs can use VAT thresholds for competitive pricing. Partnerships can optimize income tax by splitting profits. Limited Liability Partnerships (LLPs) offer protection and tax benefits. Tax planning must align with legal entity structure. HMRC scrutinizes property incorporation schemes. Section 24 (Tenant Tax) significantly impacts buy-to-let landlords. Furnished Holiday Lettings tax rules have become less generous. Unmarried couples face distinct capital gains and inheritance tax challenges. Marriage invalidates previous wills in the UK. Pension inheritance tax rules have changed, impacting legacy planning. Proactive tax planning is essential to avoid detrimental surprises. "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail." Sound Bites "Life started from a tax point of view when my mum... went to see her accountant." "The image of accountancy is that it's like men in grey suits and... it's quite boring but it's not at all." "You gotta keep on reading about tax and learning about it." "There seems to be a bit of an exodus from the UK right now." "If the 1% the top 1% go, who's gonna pay the tax?" "You just gotta kind of block out the noise and just keep your eyes focused on whatever it is that you want." "I'm going in there to collect as much as I possibly can." "It's a very YouTube idea, I love it." "Recovery is very important in our sport." "Come as you are, leave as more." "Your struggles are not your limitations." "Bravery is speaking truth to power." "Don't just climb the ladder, create an elevator." "Embracing failure is a powerful gift." "Your will wouldn't have said I leave X to my spouse, 'cause you weren't married before. But now you are." "To know and not to do is to not know." "People who fail to plan, plan to fail."
