Managing Family Dynamics

Create positive family discourse

To lead a multi-generational family business, clear rules and expectations are set for long-term success by:

  • Establishing employment policies for family members
  • Setting equally clear guidelines for family members not in the business
  • Building a board of directors with outside, non-family business professionals
  • Creating defined protocols for solving family discourse

We help families have crucial conversations in order to remain families in business

Leading a family business involves managing the business strategy and operations while attending to the emotions and dynamics of the family. Formalizing family governance and business governance is critical to setting clear expectations for both the employees and the family.
