About this book

Strategies for family firms, unlike those of other businesses, can and should incorporate family factors. Responsible and disciplined strategic integration of family and business goals, strengths and values produces powerful results.

Reviews

'While each volume contains helpful 'solutions' to the issues it covers, it is the guidance on how to tackle the process of addressing the different issues and the emphasis on the benefits which can stem from the process itself which make the Family Business Leadership Series of unique value to everyone involved in a family business - not just the owners.' - David Grant, Director (retired), William Grant & Sons Ltd. (Distillers of fine Scotch)

'These books deserve a place in every business-owning family's library' - Léon Danco, Cleveland, OH

'I think the Family Business Leadership Series books are excellent. They are extremely concise and practical, and they have the information you need.' - Gigi Cohen, EVP, Magid Glove & Safety Mfg. Co., LLC, Chicago, IL
