Excerpt
Introduction : when you put up your own money and operate your own business, you prize your independence. It's my business, you can tell yourself, in good times and in bad. In a family company, however, it's our business. When family members work together, emotions may interfere with business decisions. Conflicts may arise as relatives see the business from different perspectives. Those who are silent partners, stockholders and directors are likely to judge capital expenditures, growth and other critical matters primarily by dollar signs. Those engaged in daily operations are more likely to be concerned about production and sales figures and personnel matters. Obviously, there is potential for conflict.
