Every business whether it’s comprised of two or two thousand people – is a corporate family. Men and women in our professional families also behave in surprisingly similar ways to our personal families. Leaders who guide the corporate family are looked up to like parents, while all employees experience varying degrees of sibling rivalry. And many of the stresses, strains, and secrets in our companies are often due to family history and dysfunction. Helping leaders discover this unique professional perspective is the main objective of Corporate Family Matters: Creating & Developing Organizational Dynasties.
