Reconciling Relationships and Preserving the Family Business

Reconciling Relationships and Preserving the Family Business: Tools for Success is a survival guide for people involved in family businesses, where personal issues can mix with financial interdependencies and work grievances to cause professional failures that are independent of bad management, market conditions, or financial constraints. Studies show that more than two-thirds of family-owned businesses don't survive past the first generation—and more than 90 percent of all business enterprises in the United States are owned by families. Written by the founders of the Carmel Institute for Family Business, this unique book presents a comprehensive model for reconciling fractured relationships within the business-owning family.
