The opinions of the entrepreneur are expressed.
Rupert Murdoch He created a monumental inheritance throughout his life. As the founder of the News Corporation, Murdoch built a global empire that includes prestigious media organizations Wall Street Journal and Fox News. However, its sequence planning – or its absence, it was arguable and challenged.
This article will learn that working leaders and owners will learn from the failures of Murdoch and emphasize that these classes are relevant for business owners and leaders.
What happened?
Murdoch’s sequential planning issues are well documented and most of the problems are centered around family disputes, clarity and lack of struggles. They dealt with a very public case about the work of their children. The son of Murdoch tried to determine Lachel as primitive heir, but it was withdrawn from other children who sued their fathers. This has created an important confusion for the news corporation and negatively affected the company’s reputation and stability.
The dispute and the wrong community could be eased with a structured sequence plan. Without a consistency plan, the owners of all sizes can face significant internal conflicts, mood and stability and important talent loss.

Sequence Planning and Work Durability
PWC’s 2021 US Family Business ResearchThe owners of the family found that only 34% of respondents were “strong, documented and plot planned consistency.” It should be an exciting statistics, a wake up for all business owners. Can you give your hard work and what you have to do under risk? If not, there are four lessons where we can reap from Murdoch here:
- Start early: Ten years is the perfect time to prepare your work for an exit. This will take a lot of time to find a right variety, and take a lot of time to find the train and tutor and take the time to perform the necessary processes to ensure that your work will develop after the transition. It will help you give yourself a lot of time to walk the unknown, facilitate a smooth passage and build you and your team for success.
- Be transparent: Explain the responsibilities for each role and their expectations. Transparency helps manage expectations and reduce conflicts.
- Separately from private and professional: You can offer different financial benefits, including the transition to the loved one, gift tax freedoms and income divisions, but it also comes with difficulties. Assign instructions and boundaries and ensure everyone confirm them, synchronization of all parties.
- Plan for multiple scenarios: As business owners, we know that things are rarely as planned. It is important to be agile and to prepare for unexpected. The presence of many plans on the ground can help you go to unexpected difficulties as they arise.
Create a healthy consistent plan
There are several main elements of a good sequence plan. First, you want to determine the needs of your future leadership. After identifying them, communicating to all parties involving this role and responsibilities is critical. Open communication to adapt everyone with everyone’s common goals. After determining your success, it is very important to provide them to prepare their training, mentoring and leadership opportunities for future roles. Your job is not done after creating a plan; It is important to reconsider regularly to ensure that today is today. Most importantly, cover yourself with a professional staff, financial advisors and certification planning consultants (CEPAS), which will help you manage the process.
To overcome planning problems in general sequence
Title plans may be equally complex, but when the family dynamics added to the mixture can increase these complications. This may be different meetings for the future of the company’s family members who may result in a conflict of interest members. Sometimes these difficulties, in turn, grew due to the emotional states of individual persons created by a pressure. It is very important to apply for early problems and reduce problems in the process of being active and identifying problems related to sequence and write problems arising.
One of the most effective ways of this type of conversations is that you have a family meeting that you are a mediator to carry out the meeting. As an example, we will act like a number of family customers or to learn to learn and find out what each side of our broker is for all the parties and to find out what is for all stakeholders. We will have personal conversations with everyone, which helps everyone to buy everyone on the same page.
Leaders are often afraid of retirement or beyond, which can prevent the consistent process. I work with many people who fear starting in the next chapter in the output plan. I recommend sitting these fears openly and honestly with your friends, family and reliable advisors.

Opinion
Rupert Murdoch’s sequence plan, work leaders, major corporations and the media have already created the main learning. I believe that one of the main studies is transparency and when possible to avoid internal conflict. If you can face emotional problems during the process (especially family), very long-term benefits can exceed those negative ones. You can help maintain your work stability by taking active steps today. I hope it will relax your mind and help ensure that your vision and values ​​will be promoted in the coming years.
