Making Sense of ‘Family Business’
This new Trilogy series examines 66 common causes of conflict through the lens of the personalities, loyalties, power dynamics and emotional systems that determine whether Business Families flourish, or fracture and fail. Each Cause of Conflict is presented with tailored Strategies and Solutions.
I’ve distilled thirty years of experience into these three new books, eBooks, and audiobooks to help senior family businesspeople and their advisers find deeper diagnostic clarity, greater intervention confidence, and a more pragmatic response framework to help secure sustainable success, across generations.
The Trilogy – Making Sense of ‘Family Business’
Book #1 – 20 Personal Causes of Conflict … and some solutions.
Book #2 – 20 Family Causes of Conflict … and some solutions.
Book #3 – 26 Business Causes of Conflict … and some solutions.
Founding Companion Volume
The Solutionist Guide to Family Business (first edition – 2011)
A comprehensive, 350 page workshop manual written to help business families and their advisers to implement Family Business Best Practices based on the essential strategies, structures and systems recommended by modern family and business governance thinking.
Together, the four volumes form a single integrated advisory system – from diagnosis to planning, implementation, and enlightened governance – all designed to deliver multi-generational continuity.
This Supporter Offer enables advisers to support the project and provides priority access to the full advisory framework as soon as each book, eBook, and audiobook becomes available over the next 15 months.
