In this groundbreaking book, Andrew Usuki illuminates the pathway by examining five key stakeholders: shareholders; directors; employees, customers, and suppliers; creditors and acquirers; and legacy founders.

Excellent private businesses have founders with self-awareness of their individual anxieties inside the business. They work to change old approaches. They build and implement best-in-breed governance practices. With new solutions in place, these founders and owners achieve less anxiety—and ultimately a more powerful valuation and lasting legacy.
