Some Common Issues in Family Business.

Unclear Boundaries of Management Control

More often than not, family members are unable to use different ‘hats’ on different situations, creating blurred boundaries between each role and responsibilities; owner, family, and business (employee).

Lack of Commitment from Family Members

Maintaining future generations’ commitment to the family business will become a challenge as it grows. Without commitment and passion, the family business may struggle to be competitive when faced with competition and innovation hurdles.

Conflict with No Resolution between Family Members

The nature of family business means that family drama, workplace issues, personal likes and dislikes, conflict of interests and issues about the business is run may escalate from dislikes, disagreement, dispute, conflicts to family lawsuits.

Sibling Rivalry and Power Struggles

Conflict between siblings who are active in the company can prove to be particularly damaging for the sustainability of the company. Should it be left unattended, the siblings might end up unable to work together and have a disunited opinion on how the company should move forward. This disunited front will in turn create confusion for the company employee.

Maintaining & Hiring Talent

Be it through a clear career advancement to support professionals’ aspiration, or through a clear-cut boundary to lessen intervention from the family, family business leaders must be able to maintain talent for sustainability of their business.

Succession Planning

Only a few of the family businesses owner have a formal succession planning to ensure the business’ sustainability through generations due to some common issues such as inability / difficulty to make succession choice and an aversion to letting go by the founder.

Failure to plan means planning to fail.
