ABSTRACT: In this
study, we seek to reveal the perspectives, motivations and challenges of the
managers of familiar company regarding succession. The sample consisted of six
participants chosen by convenience and divided into two groups: entrepreneur
managers with successors and without successors. The data analysis is the
analysis of the participants’ narratives. The results indicate that there are differences
in the process of perceiving aging by the managers with and without successors.
The entrance of the descendants in the management of the company transforms the
activities of the patriarchs. The choice of getting away from the professional
activities and passing the “baton” to the successor is related to becoming ill.
Management problems interfere in the subject’s life that cannot see leisure
possibilities. It was observed that living and aging to these subjects is
associated to maintaining the quality in family ties.
