SESSIONS

Breakout 1: ” Communication, it’s Not Me, its Everyone Else” Speaker

” Communication, it’s Not Me, its Everyone Else” Moderated by  Aggie Johnson, WillKate Family Enterprise Office. 

We have seen family businesses in which the failure to communicate effectively is the single biggest reason why they don’t last, and others whose communication excellence enables them to survive though times and thrive.  One of the most valuable attributes of family businesses is their ability to build trusted relationships, which in turn help create the capital they  need to thrive.  By withholding information and lack of communication, the risk is depriving   your family business of its ability to cultivate valuable relationships that can have a major effect on both the success of the business and the closeness of the family.  WThis session will include examples of great and not-so-great results.
