Currently I am in the first position to succeed my father in our business, I feel that although he has gotten us to the point that we are currently at, he is the one preventing our growth. Can you give me advice on how to talk to a stubborn to change CEO/president?

So far I have tried to work with his plan for growth, but from how it is playing out the plan isn't fully developed. I have suggested an outline for changes in leadership and a fixed timeline for implementation. I have also created guidelines for the business to be operated within, hopefully to be put in place by Jan 1st 2015. I don't want to come off as the son who just wants to take without putting in the work, which is not the case. I'm deeply committed to the corporation and my future with it. I just want things to be done properly while he is charge now so that when it does become my time I'm not left with a fire too big to put out.
