The biggest risk facing many successful family businesses is not capital, strategy, or market conditions. It is leadership capacity. As food and beverage companies scale, the complexity of the business often outpaces internal capabilities. The result is a critical inflection point: bring in outside leadership or risk becoming constrained by the very model that created the company's success. Our latest article draws on conversations with leaders from three businesses that have approached outside leadership from different perspectives. 🥬 At A. Duda & Sons, Inc., fourth-generation CEO Sammy Duda leads a century-old enterprise that has evolved from a celery farm into a diversified business spanning agriculture, real estate, and community development. 🥑 At Adams Group, 3P Partners placed Devin Harris, a non-family executive, under fourth-generation leadership. He has since been promoted to COO and helped guide the company through a period of growth and transition into the fifth generation. 🐴 At Standlee Premium Western Forage, Scott Plew joined as CFO/EVP and a minority owner more than a decade ago, and now serves as President alongside CEO Dusty Standlee and founder Mike Standlee.
