“He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.” –Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Is the effective operation of your family business facing challenges caused by "family" issues?

Is either your family or your business undergoing challenges due to dramatic change? Is your family business experiencing operating or performance challenges?

Beyond dealing with the everyday issues of running a business, family owned businesses deal with challenges rarely discussed in business schools: succession planning, too many "consultants" or "chiefs," bringing children into the family business, challenges caused by intergenerational conflict, family dynamics, and distribution of assets because of a death or divorce. While every family business wants consistent growth, family challenges and obstacles often can interfere with that growth.
