Family businesses face a unique set of management issues.
As well as the normal pressures of running a business, the relationship
between the various family members creates additional tensions.
Fathers find that their children, educated at their expense, want to
change things in ways they do not agree with.
Children see their parent / bosses as reactionary and treating them
“like children”. Brothers and
sisters, and their spouses, may find themselves at odds in the way the business
should develop. Cousins with parents
who jointly founded the business will all have claims on the future.
It is difficult to remember, when you are up to your neck
in alligators, that the job is to drain the swamp.
Just so for the family business, why does it exist and how can it achieve
its purpose?
This programme will help you identify the ways in which you
can bring about the changes in your family business that will ensure its future
success.
