Family Business: United We Stand-Divided We Fall
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Family Business: United We Stand-Divided We Fall is a comprehensive study of the dual relationship that exists in all family owned and operated companies. This twofold nature of being a member in a family and then transferring that membership into employment in the family business forms an alliance that is supposedly entered into for mutual benefit.
It is healthy role behavior that sustains a functional family-run business. The emotional atmosphere within the company, formed through the family's pattern of relating, will enhance or destroy all that is initially well-intended. Give yourself permission to be open to understanding and subsequently to defining your family's "themes."
