4essentials for striking the right balance in a family business
1.
1. Set some boundaries. It’s easy for family members involved in
a business to talk shop 24/7. But mixing business, personal and
home life will eventually produce a volatile brew. Limit business
discussions outside of the office. That’s not always possible, but
at least save them for an appropriate time — not at a family
wedding or funeral, for example.
2. Establish clear and regular methods of
communication. Problems and differences of opinion are
inevitable. Maybe you see them already. Consider weekly
meetings to assess progress, air any differences and resolve
disputes.
3. Divide roles and responsibilities. While various family
members may be qualified for similar tasks, duties should be
divvied up to avoid conflicts. Big decisions can be made
together, but a debate over each little move will bog the family
business down.
4. Treat it like a business. A common pitfall in a family business
is placing too much emphasis on “family” and not enough on
“business.” The characteristics of a healthy business may not
always be compatible with family harmony, so be ready to face
those situations when they arise.
