Abstract
Nonfamily CEOs are an important part of the managerial efforts of many family businesses. However, little academic work has focused on these managers, who reside in the dual worlds of business and family. This article presents a study based on interviews with 27 family members and nonfamily CEOs (NFCs) with the objective of exploring what makes for successful NFCs. We find that successful nonfamily CEO engagements are characterized by the selection of an individual with both business and interpersonal competencies, and the support of both family business boards and councils.
