Simplifying Family Business
Whether you’re a husband and wife team, or you’ve got the kids, their spouses and a few nieces and nephews involved, there are some great benefits to working together. But, there are some awkward pitfalls that you want to do your best to avoid (we’re guessing you’ve probably already figured this out).
Being fair and giving everyone a chance to shine, while making sure the business gets things done right can be a real challenge. Then there’s the issues of responsibility, authority, the ‘pecking order’, managing accountability, the dreaded ‘Who’s getting what’ and eventually the challenges of succession planning.
Don’t let yourself be overwhelmed by it all. It is possible to make it all work and to have everyone work together to build a successful, profitable family asset.
The3rdgear has developed a special program just for family business. We know how important your family is. At our core we’re a family business too.
“Like many family businesses, we were making decisions based on family relationships rather than on what was best for the business. The3rdGear gave us the clarity and unity of direction we needed to put aside personal goals and to develop and action a strategic plan that we all agreed on. As a result, our business has grown significantly and there is much less of the friction that can come from working with family members.”
