Not to mention Hightower advisors can tap an award-winning Hightower Center for Leadership, a rigorous two-year, certificate-granting education program created to empower the next generation of leaders in advisory businesses: https://bit.ly/3Q65Dvw Read the full Barron’s article here: https://bit.ly/3VwWDTc

Value creation+aggregating SMEs = building of a cluster (horizontal or vertical) jn PE... Nice paper!! "... PE firms are led by dealmakers, portcos are led by executives who focus on operations, and the two groups tend to define great leadership differently."...

Specifically, boards of PE companies focus on a handful of guiding rules: 1. Don’t just review the company’s strategy. Help create it. 2. Don’t just expect trust. Build it. 3. Don’t just assess the company’s culture. Help shape it. 4. Don’t just receive information. Provide it. 5. Don’t just look different. Think different. 6. Don’t just fire CEOs. Get to know future ones. We have entered a new governance era in private equity. Long gone are the days when PE firms could simply buy companies and saddle them with massive debt. Capital costs have soared, and financial engineering can only go so far. In their search for more enduring advantages, innovative private equity firms and their portfolio companies are increasingly embracing a more entrepreneurial governance model in which board members, with deep operational experience and more skin in the game, work side-by-side with portfolio company executives to co-create the new strategy, shape the culture, and develop future leaders. If the past decade is any indication of the future, private equity will continue to be the financer of first choice in the real economy. Public companies should be questioning their approach to governance — which hasn’t evolved all that much since the collapse of Penn Central half a century ago — and thinking about what they can learn from private equity.
