Award-winning guide to transitioning leadership and creating lasting business impact.

Winner of the NYC Big Book Award in Business-Entrepreneurship & Small Business and silver winner of the Nonfiction Book Awards, this acclaimed handbook shows you how to transition leadership, implement shared ownership, and preserve your organization's core values--setting the stage for your business to thrive for generations to come.

This visionary but practical guide offers mission-driven business owners a roadmap for ensuring their company's lasting impact, building leadership internally, and fostering participatory management. Through inspiring real-world stories of B Corps, worker co-ops, ESOPs, and employee ownership trusts, this book demonstrates how to create resilient organizations that benefit workers and communities.

Drawing on his 50-year journey with South Mountain Company and extensive research, Abrams outlines five critical transitions for mission-driven businesses to become what he calls a CommonWealth company:

  • From founder to next-generation leadership
  • From sole ownership to widely shared
  • From hierarchical control to democratic management
  • From unprotected mission to preserved purpose
  • From business-as-usual to B Corp force for good
