""Succeeding is an insightful and timely read as we experience the mass retirement of the Boomer generation. As a predecessor and Boomer who is currently amid succession planning, this was a real eye opener. This information would have been invaluable to me as a successor and will shape the way I interact with my successor during this process."" - Thomas E. Bates, Jr., president and CEO, Legends Bank ""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 ""Succeeding is a must-read for business owners navigating a generational transition, offering valuable insights for any executive, manager, or employee involved in this critical process. The book lays out a comprehensive framework for planning, executing, and keeping your transition on track, ensuring that every step is handled with precision and care."" - Braden Wagner, president, Wagner Equipment ""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."" - Matt Wineinger, president & CEO. United Sugar Producers & Refiners ""This book speaks to the heart of leadership in a way that crosses borders and cultures. It's a must-read for anyone ready to embrace the complexities of modern leadership in a world that has constant change."" - Luis Rodriguez, president, FC Juárez ""Having spent the last 20+ years building the next chapter of an already successful company by pivoting to a new industry, I wish I had this book when I started. It would have helped me avoid the naïve assumption that everything should just follow the playbook that made the previous chapter so successful. New generations, new philosophies, new world. Succeeding illustrates clear examples and shares the wins and losses of those on this journey, giving readers a distinct advantage over the hurdles ahead."" - Ryan Pruchnic, MS, MBA, Managing Vice President, Cook MyoSite, Inc. ""Ciuksza's Succeeding is a much-needed resource for any leader, whether they are passing the torch, or taking on the stewardship of a company's legacy into the future."" - Drew Farrar, senior vice president, integrated communications ""In an industry where we often rely on tried-and-true methods, Albert pushed me to rethink what it means to pass the baton. Succeeding goes beyond the basics and forces you to confront the biases that could hold your business back."" - Frank Piedimonte, retired president and COO, current external board member, Brayman Construction Corp. ""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
