Should you fire your deadweight brother-in-law or comply with your mom’s pleas to give him a raise?
Should you pay all your kids the same, or based on the market? These are the questions family business leaders confront due to the opposing expectations of the family and the business.
Hug of War offers new a path forward. When the competing impulses of the family mindset and the
business mindset are embraced as a polarity, leaders transcend either-or thinking and craft better solutions that embrace the best of both mindsets.
With stories that take you into the hearts and heads of real-life family business leaders, Hug of War offers a bridge to greater harmony in your family, greater clarity in your mind, and greater peace in your heart.
