In this Five Good Ideas session, Annie Kidder, co-founder and recently retired executive director of People for Education, shares her personal experience of what it's like to hand off your organization to the next generation.

What really happens during succession – what works, what hurts, what do you need to let go of, and how does a founder-led organization steer into a future where it can continue to thrive?

Her five good ideas: 

1. Get a therapist

2. Identify foundational organizational values and beliefs and then build a new path forward

3. Determine where the founder adds value and where they have to get out of the way

4. Let go

5. Celebrate
