Family businesses comprise dynamic relationship systems, family and business, operating simultaneously with almost the same members. Their personality is at interplay creating visionary business stories but also creating mental stress, conflicts and communication gaps.
Family business counselling enables appreciation for each other's contribution and helps address the challenges arising at personal, interpersonal and group levels. The family business coach is focused on the business performance and results. Using various analytical methods, systems and structures, a family business transforms into an aligned professionally run business, with a shared vision.
However, the family business counsellor is more focused on the emotional side of the family and helps in developing & strengthening the relationships and resolving past negativity between the family members. The family business counsellor takes a psychological or therapeutic approach to make the family members understand different perspectives of the family & business environment.
The family business counsellor understands the prevailing individual mindsets, expectations & challenges of the family members, struggling to make their way in the family business. An experienced family business counsellor makes the family members observe their interactions with other members & also how their behaviours impact the family business performance.
Family Business Counselling can be done for individuals, couples, or generations and even for the family together. The family business counsellor is a patient listener to the family history, current dynamics and complexities.
With different counselling frameworks & triggers, family members have opportunities to voice their concerns. The family counsellor maps & paints a picture of the understanding & the strength of the relationships between various family members. The experienced family counsellor gives an outside perspective on the family dynamics and provides a structured platform for progress and win-win for one and all.
Family Business Counselling is fundamental and essential for keeping the family together & avoiding the hurdles created by the relationships in the family business. The self–doubt and perceived notions about other family members are discussed & cleared. Family members benefit from enhanced trust, and mutual trust, resulting in quick decision–making. They can see how it is beneficial for them to work together and grow together.
