The Family Business Conflict Resolution Handbook
The guide for achieving consensus in your family and your company
Even the closest families have disagreements. Even the best-run businesses experience discord. So it's not surprising that family businesses — with their mix of older and younger generations, active and inactive shareholders, family and non-family employees — are ripe for conflict. It's simply inevitable. Given this, how can your business family manage its disparities in a way that brings stakeholders closer together instead of driving them apart? How can you develop a systematic way of addressing hot-button issues before they hamper your company's progress? How, in fact, can you transform conflict into a positive force that sparks improvements in your company's bottom line? The Family Business Conflict Resolution Handbook has the answers for you. It's a comprehensive "how-to" manual that captures the best advice from both top-flight experts and real-life family business owners on these critical issues. |
The Family Business Mentoring Handbook
Who do you envision leading your family business 25 years from now? Your son? Daughter? Niece or nephew? An in-law? Perhaps a non-family employee? The most critical challenge facing your family business is smart succession planning. That's why it's important that you have the foresight to intelligently prepare the next generation for the leadership reins of your family's company. From discovering the principles of mentoring to preparing for succession, The Family Business Mentoring Handbook offers valuable insights and ideas on being an effective mentor—as well as advice to the next generation on being successful protégés. As the family business leader, it's imperative that you begin laying the groundwork for seamless succession planning. Do you know that the Family Firm Institute estimates that fewer than a third of all U.S. family businesses survive into the second generation? All too often it's because of bad planning. The most respected family business specialists as well as successful family business owners offer their succession methods and mentoring techniques in this comprehensive, real-life guide.
