Family Business Consulting

Leveraging the strengths and navigating the pitfalls in family and closely-held enterprises.

Family businesses (or closely-held organizations that feel like family) have enormous potential to thrive and create long-lasting success for all stakeholders. The list of risks and pitfalls is long, however, and most successful family businesses work very hard to evolve the methods, relationships and structures to maximize their potential.

The Problem:

“The organization that I am responsible for with my family members needs some help. Sometimes we have a really hard time working together and we want to make sure that we are prepared for the big transitions coming down the pike.”

Solutions:

  • Get a much clearer sense of why things can get so difficult when working with family members and other leaders.
  • Assess the effects of people playing multiple roles… as Family Members, in the Business, and/or as Owners, and provide options to maximize harmony, effectiveness and creativity.
  • Create or update agreements and policies to add useful boundaries and structures to facilitate productive behaviors and shared goals.
  • Provide guidance and coaching for family and/or non-family leaders to help them bring out the best in themselves and others.
