100 Year Plan Part II
Divided We Fall
01/01/2005

The select few family businesses that survive the transition to the third generation have overcome a host of governance and management dilemmas. They have shed the hierarchical, often nepotistic management policies of the past and embraced best practices and nonfamily management talent. They have brought a growing constituency of cousins and siblings together to discuss and ratify important decisions. They have put the vision and energy of an entrepreneur through the crucible of business discipline and come away with a thriving enterprise.
