Abstract
In this paper, we explore the role of nonfamily leaders in the succession process of family firms. Drawing on a social identity approach to leadership, we highlight that nonfamily leaders are key for advancing, creating, and embedding a shared sense of their followers with the family business after a succession. Based upon the concept of identity work, we are interested in the resources that nonfamily leader use to reflect and make sense of the successor’s novel leadership expectations and how identity work shapes their sense of self after a succession. Exploring the leadership succession in a German family business, we identify physical, behavioral and discursive resources as well as interactional work spaces of identity work. These resources carry projections of a desired self and expectations about the leadership behavior and help the leaders to develop their new leader identity. We contribute by theorizing how nonfamily leader identity work links identity leadership and the transmission of succession in family businesses.
