The mainstreaming of #employeeownership enjoying another significant push in the US. Is it capitalism? Is it socialism? No - it’s a way of socialising capital. Giving more people a meaningful stake in the businesses in which they work is proven (*) to deliver results for people, business, the economy and the planet. (* see eoa for the evidence )

Another governance aspect for a board director to consider, thanks to Mark Rogers and BoardProspects.com “Board decisions regarding directors’ own compensation inherently involve self-dealing because a director who receives a financial benefit from the transaction stands on both sides of the transaction (i.e., setting and receiving the compensation).” #goodgovernance #boarddirectors

Have to agree with the McKinsey folks here. Value creation planning and execution is so critical in this environment of high interest rates and compression of multiples.

Here's a great research piece by WORC (Workforce & Organizational Research Center) and the Ford Foundation on the importance of human capital development in unlocking value in private equity. The team's findings are that some of the best private equity firms in the world only occasionally look beyond the C-suite in developing a comprehensive human capital strategy. Part of the challenge is attributable to the organizational structure of private equity. Deal teams primarily comprise financial and operational experts. One respondent candidly shared the view that human capital is "messy". Having spent most of my career as an investor, I understand what they meant. However, in this brave new world, where capital is plenty and talent scarce, human capital is increasingly the key lever for value creation. This requires PE firms to expand the scope of human capital strategies beyond simply recruiting the right executive leadership. It also struck me that these firms -- some of the largest and most sophisticated in the industry -- are taking a principally reactionary approach to broad-based human capital strategies. They often reference high turnover as a signal that there is a human capital problem as opposed to something they proactively manage. Of course, we at Southeast Acquisition Capital believe that employee ownership (the easy part) combined with a true culture of ownership (the hard part) can have a material impact on recruitment, retention, engagement, and ultimately value creation. Aligning incentives across an organization -- from the C-Suite to the front lines -- works for public companies, large-cap private equity, small-cap private equity, the corner store, and everything in between. Great work, Ellen Frank-Miller, PhD! Thanks for teeing up a conversation that is just getting started! #PE #JobQuality #FrontlineWorkers #ValueCreation #WORCAction #EmployeeOwnership #ESOP

With the days of cheap leverage and lower interest rates seemingly behind us, “shortcuts” to high returns are increasingly rare. Against this backdrop, investors are realizing that their best chances for success may lie not in chasing returns, but in helping create them.

Will Booming Private Credit + Resurgent Private Equity = a great H2 2024? Here's another sign that the answer is YES 👇 I'm increasingly persuaded based on my conversations with CEO, Chair, Private Markets Partners..... and articles like this. #PrivateEquity #DealActivity #TimeForOptimism

Really fascinating that KKR has put such a focus on empathy as a focus for great leaders. This is something that comes up all the time in our CEO succession program (Next Generation Leader) here at World 50. One of the hardest things for rising CEOs to realize the importance of. https://lnkd.in/et4YQHqp
