Avoiding the Ditch: Keeping Your Family Business Communication On Track

Difficult conversations are inevitable in family business. How communication is handled among family members can determine the overall effect of these conversations; will the family bond ultimately strengthen, or will there be lasting negative effects on the business? How do we end up “stuck” in communication “ditches” where communication breaks down and relationships suffer, and if we find ourselves there, how do we get back to constructive conversation? This session will provide tools and techniques that attendees can use right away to cultivate better communication among family members, employees, and shareholders.
