As a consultant in service to families who own businesses, I always thought I needed to be grounded in some sound set of theories. I still think that is important, but not once, never in forty years, did someone in a family business say to me, What is the theoretical foundation for that idea? Clients always wanted an unvarnished, pragmatic solution. What will work? Because of this, I learned to practice the art of the possible. This book is about what works. You won t find complex theories here, nor will you find everything about family business. This is a little book, not a big one. What you will find are clear, common sense tips, advice and direction that will be useful in your family business. Implementation of even a few of these ideas is certain to decrease concerns about your family and your business and increase your contentment in life. - from Amzon
