Calista’s Paradox is a hybrid novella and business book by Erik Åkesson and Elaine Stirling about how to stop being defined by an inherited story and start authoring a chosen one.
Legacy is both what we inherit and what we leave behind. Most leaders treat them as the same thing. And that’s the paradox at the heart of how companies get stuck.
Finland has many multi-generational, mid-sized companies. Many now facing succession, ownership transitions, or identity shifts. Companies that confront these moments can use this as a possibility to create a stronger future.
The conversation will cover:
• Why what shaped you is not the same as what should define you
• Legacy thinking as a strategic tool for succession and renewal
• What long-lived companies do differently
For whom: Leaders, owners, and decision-makers at Finnish mid-sized companies. Successors, board members, and family-business stakeholders.
