Building Strong Family Teams

by Mark Fischetti

Building Strong Family Teams is the complete resource for creating and sustaining effective sibling, cousin, husband-wife, and executive and employee teams. Published by the editors of Family Business magazine, the only magazine written expressly for the owners of family companies, the handbook lays out the basic challenges for family members and employees who need training in how to lead, manage and work collectively. It addresses the special issues that must be faced by sibling partnerships, cousin consortia, and husband-wife duos -- all intense and potentially volatile forms of management. It offers numerous strategies from the country's leading team experts for creating great executive and employee teams, and lots of street-smart advice from business leaders on how to make these teams work effectively. The handbook explains how to unify family stakeholders. It tells how to handle the actual transition from a single company leader to a team. Finally, it provides an in-depth explanation of four unique tools devised specifically to help families manage the business and themselves, as teams. Most telling are the real-life experiences of family business leaders who have tackled teamwork, which appear in profiles presented throughout the book.

This book is part of a series, some of which are a bit redundant and belabored, but in general contain a great deal of information for a family business owner.
