  • The Company and Your Inner-Family Business: Norm Smallwood interviews Adam Hatcher

    The Company and Your Inner-Family Business: Norm Smallwood interviews Adam Hatcher
    2026/08/27
    The script flips. After two episodes of Adam interviewing Norm Smallwood — co-founder of The RBL Group and Adam's collaborator in restructuring his own family's company — Norm turns the tables and interviews Adam. They cover why Adam started Twenty One Clear, the inner family business hiding inside every family company, why succession is nothing like a baton handoff, and the two words Adam gives every family that works together: Do Not Drift. The episode closes with an impromptu case study from Norm's own consulting work, where an HR leadership succession project took a sudden inner family business turn.21C linksTwenty One Clear website: https://www.21clear.com?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesAdam Hatcher on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/adamhatcher?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesSubscribe to the Twenty One Clear newsletter: https://21clear.substack.com/?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesThe RBL Group (Norm Smallwood): https://www.rbl.net/?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesEpisode 12, Four Stages of Leadership, Part 1: https://21clear.transistor.fm/episodes/four-stages-of-leadership-part-1-stages-1-3?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesEpisode 13, Four Stages of Leadership, Part 2: https://21clear.transistor.fm/episodes/four-stages-of-leadership-part-2-stage-4-and-the-stages-importance?utm_source=twenty-one-clear&utm_medium=website&utm_campaign=ep-14-the-company-and-your-inner-family-business&utm_content=show-notesBumper music: "Still Hot" by Nic D, Connor Price © Lossless, 2023Episode produced by: https://snapmarket.coChapters[00:00] Welcome and Setup — Adam flips the script: after two episodes interviewing Norm Smallwood, Norm interviews him[02:29] What Makes a Great Family Company — Full valuation for your size and industry, plus real impact, at any scale[03:47] Why "Twenty One Clear" — A 70-year-old family company, and mixing the unconditional with the conditional[07:59] The Question Behind the Firm — Why some family companies seem chaos proof and others lose value and relationships[09:30] Inside "Chaos Proof Your Business" — Who the book is for and the question it wrestles with[11:59] The Inner Family Business — One box inside another, and what the Chick-fil-A thought experiment reveals[13:51] The Hardest Management Job on Earth — Why a family exit is fundamentally different from any other departure[15:15] Norm's Case Study — A chairman's succession plan for a son who never wanted the job[17:38] Succession Is Not a Baton Handoff — Two archers, 50 yards apart, and why the arrows must meet mid-air[18:49] Do Not Drift — The one concept Adam gives every family company[19:33] The Family Is a System — How one raise reaches every family member, inside the company and out[21:41] The Headlines Exercise — Surfacing unsaid expectations before they walk into the boardroom[23:24] Twenty One Clear in Five Years — The roadmap families need and the chaos proof framework[26:31] Why a Template Is Not a Facilitator — What AI can draft and what it can never do in a family meeting[28:53] Final Advice — Do Not Drift, and open the lens as wide as you can[30:54] The Third Word — What Adam's sister and the family council gave back to the company[33:24] Closing — Continue to write your story

  • Four Stages of Leadership - Part 2: Stage 4 and the Stages' Importance

    Four Stages of Leadership - Part 2: Stage 4 and the Stages' Importance
    2026/07/30

    Part two of Adam's conversation with Norm Smallwood, co-founder of The RBL Group, picking up where Episode 12 left off. Norm and Adam move into stage four, otherwise known as "power", of Norm's four-stage leadership model. They then work through what it costs a family business when people are operating below the stage their role requires, why self-diagnosis of your own stage almost never works, and what it looks like to build a great career and a great company without ever needing to become stage four yourself.

  • Four Stages of Leadership - Part 1: Stages 1-3

    Four Stages of Leadership - Part 1: Stages 1-3
    2026/06/25

    In this first of two parts, Adam Hatcher sits down with Norm Smallwood, co-founder of RBL Group and a longtime collaborator in Adam's own family business journey, to unpack the four stages of leadership.

    The framework, rooted in decades of research on how professionals contribute over time, gives family business leaders a practical language for two of the most common fears they may face: Am I actually seen as a strong performer? And are the family members I'm responsible for performing at the level this company needs?
