March 25, 2021
Within a family business, the need for clarity and consensus is more important than ever and although the process of creating such a position can be painful, the benefits are clear for all to see.

Key takeaways
- Sometimes businesses with conflicts between generations need an external assessment of what’s happening in the world today and how they need to adapt.
- We often meditate disputes that have never been spoken about properly after years of conflicts.
- Simply asking the management team to clarify their roles within the organisation can identify massive gaps.
- The last thing you want is to air the family laundry over the boardroom table.
- Diversity of thought from an independent executive can help guide family owned businesses with what should be discussed in board meetings.
- Once you’re all pointing in the right direction, THEN you can start to build your strategy.
