Harmony at Stake: The Impact of Poor Business Performance at Holiday Gatherings
The Revenue arrow says it all…
Up, Up, Up!
Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be in business?
We plan for success.
We get ready for success.
We strive for success… But it doesn’t always happen.
Sometimes, just the opposite happens.
Loss after loss after loss,
In a “regular” business this may not be the end of the world.
But in a family business, this can be devastating.
Poor business performance can be carried over to the dinner table.
Poor business performance can ruin Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter as family members bicker and squabble about who is at fault, and what should be done about it.
Poor business performance can bring up the subject of who in the family should get fired.
Up, up, Up is replaced with Blame, Blame, Blame.
All because the family business didn’t follow The Family Business Rules
Don’t play the blame game. Follow the Rules!
