Succession Planning for Christian Business Leaders
Preserve your mission. Prepare your people. Pass the baton with purpose.
What Happens When You're Not Ready?
Most Christian business owners aren’t trying to build an empire—they’re trying to be faithful stewards. But even the best leaders often delay succession planning until it’s too late.
As a result:
✅ The company drifts after a sudden exit
✅ Key people leave due to uncertainty
✅ The founder’s vision gets diluted or lost
And for Christian leaders, the stakes often feel even higher: your values, your team, and your mission all hang in the balance.
Succession Isn’t About Replacing You — It’s About Multiplying Impact
The goal of Christ-centered succession is more than just naming a successor. Effective succession planning raises up leaders who embody your values and can lead with both competence and conviction.
That’s where the Servant Leader OS comes in — a leadership operating system that helps high-potential managers become humble, visionary executives.
A 3-Part Framework for Succession that Lasts
- Clarify the Vision – Document the mission, values, and culture that must endure.
- Identify the Leaders – Spot faithful, teachable managers with the potential to grow into executive roles.

It’s more than checking a box. It’s preparing your house.
