Policy Handbook for Business Families
The difference between success and failure is often a willingness
to confront the difficult family AND business issues head on. Fairly.
Openly. Honestly.
To help our clients and members do this critical work, we have
designed this Policy Handbook for Business Families. Our goal is
to help business families TALK about the real issues, WORK TOGETHER
in effective teams, and PLAN for the future, moving them through
critical issues which are often emotionally laden. We recommend
families use the Handbook in conjunction with a professional facilitator.

We hope this handbook will indeed become a "work" book
which will help your family to discuss, agree
and write down family business policies—durable agreements
that will help your business and your family thrive. Of course your
family business policies will reflect your unique family values
and business conditions. This evolving tool offers sample policies
drawn from our own professional experience, the leading researchers
in the field, and most importantly the proven practices of successful
business families in our community and around the world!
