Conflict Prevention
Conflict Prevention
In a family business, conflict, its symptoms and the impact it will have on the business are almost inevitable.
Therefore, and being aware of this reality, the key will be in non-central efforts to solve the problems, which will have to be tried to solve them of course, with solutions that are not "seemingly definitive" but in knowing how to manage them, managing processes of change and learning.
It should not be forgotten that these conflicts often carry strong emotional burdens, nor does it mean that being a family does not mean that their members are compatible.
A family business that grows is more prone to problems, this does not imply that growth is bad, but it does imply that as it grows it must be increasingly prepared because the evolutionary cycle of growth for the company is also for the generation of conflict and tensions
And finally and without being misinterpreted, we must bear in mind that the older, the greater the conflict. Therefore, if you do not want to generate conflicts and generational gaps of serious consequences, preparing succession plans with time is a very good solution.
