Summary: For the Roy family, business is nastily, backstabbing-ly personal: when their father, the founder of Waystar Royco, is incapacitated, it sets off a battle for leadership of the media conglomerate. In other words, it’s a great case study for talking about: the unique challenges facing family businesses, what happens when (and if) a founder leaves, influencing others when you don’t have a title, and difficult conversations and delivering bad news. Hosted by Paula Cizek, Jane Garza, and Dr. Kim Perkins. Credits: Armstrong, Jesse, creator. Succession. HBO, 2018. HBO Now. “Work of Fiction” Theme Song: Matt Garza
