Cooling Down Conflict in Your Family Business

Posted on Jun 08 2016 under Family Business, Previous Programs

 

 Being in business with your family can bring lots of rewards, including financial security and personal pleasure in working with people you know well and love. But it can also be the source of misunderstanding, antagonism and painful conflict. The show looks at common causes of conflict in family businesses and how that conflict can be resolved and even prevented.                    [display_podcast]

Listener Assignment

With your business partner, sit down and discuss any one of the following questions:

1. What really important family and business values are being affected by the conflict?

2.  What’s the real cause of the conflict? (Be honest. Drill down past the obvious.)

3.  What’s the cost of continuing the conflict? Cost to the business?  Cost to the family?  Long term cost?

4.  What’s the first step we can take toward healing and reconciliation and who’s big enough and wise enough to take it?
