Family Business Transition Challenges
Intergeneration Family Business
You Love Your Family, But They Drive You Crazy “
​
It’s hard to run the business well and satisfy family members’ WANTS.” (Due to competition for basic resources: time, attention and money)
Are You Feeling Stuck?

Risks for not getting help with your transition planning
​
• "Shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in 3 generations”
​
Most family businesses do not survive through the second generation, much less the third generation.This is primarily due to lack of planning, and not creating a structure or family governance. For a business to endure, care must be given to raising the next generation of leaders from the time they are young.
​
• Huge waste of energy and resources
Course corrections need to be bigger, more costly in time, energy and focus.
• Hyperstress
​
Without a good Plan B, unnecessary time and stress are required to put together a new plan in the midst of crisis. The risk is intensified.
• Missed Opportunities
​
It is difficult to see the big picture and its possibilities when you are narrowly focused on today’s problems. Coaching provides an island of time devoted to you and your big picture wants and needs. It offers a time of reflection with a mentor/coach who has walked in your shoes.
