Helping Your Family Business Work
Family Businesses, at a minimum, have all the requirements of other organizations. They are unique, however, often manifesting deep and complex familial relationships. This adds another rich dimension to the organizational mosaic.
Issues might revolve around ownership, management, roles, behaviours, competencies, succession, and the mixing of family and business dynamics, thereby causing confusion and conflict. These complexities can render the business non-functional.
Each of the many threads that bind together a Family Business needs to be examined and addressed. This sorting out requires dexterity, sensitivity and patience. Third-party facilitation often is critical.
