Conflict management in family businesses refers to the process of identifying, addressing, and resolving disputes or disagreements that arise among family members who are involved in the business. These conflicts can stem from differences in values, leadership styles, financial decisions, or personal relationships. Since family members often have intertwined personal and professional roles, conflicts in family businesses can be particularly complex and sensitive. Effective conflict management strategies are essential to prevent negative impacts on family dynamics and business operations.
A family vision is a shared, long-term perspective that outlines the aspirations, values, and goals of a family as to their business and collective legacy. It acts as a unifying guide for decision-making, ensuring alignment among family members and balancing personal ambitions with the greater good of the family enterprise.
