The month's newsletter has to win the prize for spanning the entire
scope of family business challenges...
As Leslie Dashew notes, a strong family business is founded on a shared vision. David Bork goes on to tell us in a video interview that understanding and respecting boundaries is a key to long-term sustainability.
Marvi Ricker advises us on the role of family philanthropy when the family business has been successful, and Steve Rosenbaum notes the challenges of distributing wealth to the next generation.
Closing the cycle, Bob Louis describes how retirement plans can facilitate business succession, Richard Snebold advises on the importance of developing an exit plan, and Dennis Kessler provides guidance on how to avoid "flunking retirement."
But even that's not the end! Finally, Harry McCabe reminds us that all of our living and planning takes place in the midst of turmoil in the family and in the outside world. It's no wonder that family businesses require special attention!
