EP 222 Family Business – Motivation to Move You Into those Difficult Discussions
Too often we avoid the tough conversations. Our Lizard Brain gives us these reasons and exuses that feel like facts…….in working with family businesses for about 25 years I can tell – rarely are these facts. Here’s a few of the most common “Reasons” I hear…….
Reasons & Excuses that Feel Like Facts
We’re Fine We’re too Busy We Love One Another I don’t Know What I Want It Will Never Happen Anyway We’ll Do Future Planning Soon I Don’t Want Them to Be Mad at Me No Need to Rock the Boat-All Will Be Fine We all Get Along Well – We’ll Work it Out Soon
Recently had a family business leader – Next Gen tell me “We’re Getting Along “
Which got me thinking……- But at What Cost?
Assuming Rather than Asking Frustrations Not Addressed Ideas & Innovations Not Heard Personal Goals Not Shared Decisions Made w/o Input Boundaries Created Not Communicated Not Kept Disability Divorce Death Distress Disagreement The 5 D’s That Can Drive Business Direction if You Don’t

Crisis
OR
Conflict
I, unfortunately, have seen it happen many times.
