Description

Working with family complicates the already daunting task of owning a business, and it's tough not to take work problems home with you. The best approach is to realise that family is family ... and business is business. This is a common-sense manual for survival that dispels myths such as the power of teamwork and gender or birth-order differences in ability. Engagingly written, with no-nonsense tips and real-life examples, this defiant treatise will guide you to: Harness your employees' and your own inherent strengths; Trust your instincts and the people you work with; Balance lifelong relationships with fair treatment of nonfamily employees. Authors Kathy Kolbe and Amy Bruske hone decades of experience helping family businesses thrive -- and running their own for more than 30 years -- into practical, actionable advice for how to hire family members, how to work with them, and how -- when necessary -- to fire them. The solutions are not always easy, but understanding the frequent pitfalls of working with family is an investment that could pay back over generations. The book will show readers how to find joy while developing a sustainable family-owned company.
