Daddy Issues: Corporate Edition: Love, Privilege, Control and the Next Generation

Succession can make or break a family business.

Yet most treat it like a taboo-or a ticking time bomb.

Daddy Issues: Corporate Edition is a candid, no-nonsense guide to one of the most crucial-and least talked about-challenges facing family businesses today: succession. Written by a second-generation entrepreneur in the thick of a real-life transition, this book offers grounded insights into the emotional, strategic, and structural complexities that come with passing the baton.

With clarity, humility, and firsthand experience, Sumit Pathak unpacks the unspoken tensions, generational rifts, and blind spots that can derail even the most successful enterprises. This is not a textbook-it's a field guide from the frontlines.

Whether you're a founder preparing to step back or an inheritor stepping up, Daddy Issues: Corporate Edition delivers practical wisdom and quiet provocations that will stay with you long after the last page.
