"Having worked closely with Albert in our leadership development program at one of our portfolio companies, I can attest to the power of his insights. The practical advice and strategic wisdom he shares are invaluable for every leader. It's a must-read for those preparing to pass the torch, especially in a steadily growing worldwide business like ours."
Steve Townes, CEO & founder, Ranger Aerospace LLC and vice chairman, ACL Airshop LLC
"Ciuksza's thoroughly researched book leaves little to the imagination for a successor going through a transition. No book I've read on the subject so carefully deals with the topic from the successor's point of view. Kudos to the author! His playbook is filled with triumphant and cautionary tales of transitions, guiding our successors on everything from handling the different personalities (archetypes) of predecessors to the traps (quicksand) that can undermine your success."
Jonathan Goldhill, founder, Goldhill Group and author of Disruptive Successor: A Guide for Driving Growth in Your Family Business
"Succeeding brilliantly combines emotional intelligence with practical advice, making it an accessible and actionable guide for anyone stepping into a leadership position. Highly recommended for successors ready to take the helm."
