Publisher's summary

The one book you need to navigate the complex decisions and critical relationships necessary to create and sustain a healthy family business - and business family.

Though "family business" may sound like it refers only to mom-and-pop shops, businesses owned by families are among the most significant and numerous in the world. But surprisingly few resources exist to help navigate the unique challenges you face when you share the executive suite, tax returns, and holidays. How do you make the right decisions, critical to the long-term survival of any business, with the added challenge of having to do so within the context of a family?

This comprehensive handbook brings you sophisticated guidance and practical advice from family business experts Josh Baron and Rob Lachenauer. Based on their decades-long experience working closely with a wide range of family businesses around the world, the authors present proven methods and approaches.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Very good audiobook but difficult to follow

It is quite good but with a lot of theory making it hard to follow.

I just have to listen it again, but it is a must listen

Good primer

A good list of things to consider and start working toward. As part of a business that is still under the original owner with a plan to become a “family business” a lot of it wasn’t really geared toward my situation as much as toward large family run corporations. Would have liked to go into detail on specially what corporate and legal structures to consider rather than just broad business types (partnership/distributed/etc.) and more on how to originally bring family in for the first time rather than just “think about taxes”.

Overall it was a good list of things to consider
