Trends in Family Business Today
Leadership Behaviors
Most organizations focus on performance. Yet behaviors will always precede performance. Leaders must model behaviors, attitudes & disciplines that demonstrate their vision in action.
Conflict Resolution
Unresolved conflict will inhibit the growth and health of the company as well as the family. It impacts non-family members reducing their engagement and enthusiasm.
Culture Reset
Having several generations of family working side-by-side may result in a misalignment of values and culture. This can cause confusion so a unified vision must be consistently communicated.
Succession Strategies
Only 1/4 of family businesses pass the reigns to subsequent generations with just 33% having succession plans. Companies with such plans in place are positioned for long-term shareholder value.
Team Engagement
It is estimated that 71% of all employees are disengaged at work. Most companies try to bribe them with money but all they seek is satisfaction and meaning from their work.
Board Optimization
The effective governance of a family business is critical. Often times this can be done by optimizing the roles & responsibilities of the directors, advisors and fiduciary board members.
Organizational Culture Change Process
This proven system instigates positive organizational change in a non-threatening way. As individual and group behaviors shift, team members dream bigger and take-on greater challenges.
