People leave jobs for a variety of reasons, but chief among them is that they can’t stand the person they work for.  Here are 10 characteristics you might want to try to identify in your next leader:

  1. Integrity: deep self-respect and confidence, the result of true maturity.
  2. Consistency: a steady hand, lacking the need for continuous, and often unnecessary, change.
  3. Accountability: self-discipline with resolve for what is right, for all.
  4. Responsibility: takes ownership of mistakes without blaming others.
  5. Fairness: treats everyone evenly, without double standards.
  6. Care: an ability to demonstrate genuine concern for others.
  7. Praise-worthy: willing to give public and private praise without taking personal credit.
  8. Future-oriented: not hung up on the past and interested in your future.
  9. Hands-Off Attitude: no need to micro-manage, but an ability to lead, direct, and support.
  10. Communication: an ability and readiness to be open, and especially to listen.

“I needed help orchestrating a succession plan for our business. I had heard that Bill Boyajian specialized in assisting owners to transition their business to the next generation. He knows how to bridge the generation gap and deliver what each needs to hear. I would recommend Bill to any business owner who needs advice on succession planning from a trusted outside professional.”

"Our family needed some guidance on business transition and succession planning. We asked Bill Boyajian to help us because we knew we could trust him to tell us what we needed to hear. Bill became a valuable resource for our company and our entire family. He has the ability to meet each of us where we’re at and it has served us very well."

“We needed a plan to transition our business to a non-family member and we asked Bill Boyajian to help us. His experience in the area has really paid off, but we didn’t expect the added value of putting us together with a financial planner who helped organize our retirement needs. We now have the fundamentals to transition our business successfully, and we have Bill to thank for it.”
