Navigate the complex decisions and critical relationships necessary to
create and sustain a healthy family business--and business family.
Though "family business" may sound like it refers only to mom-and-pop
shops, businesses owned by families are among the most significant and
numerous in the world. But surprisingly few resources exist to help
navigate the unique challenges you face when you share the executive
suite, financial statements, and holidays. How do you make the right
