Family-owned businesses are among the most notable and numerous in the world. Some are global brands employing thousands - think Walmart, Ford and JCB - others are much smaller, more local enterprises run by their owners and staffed entirely by their family. But however big or small, running or working in a family business, and the bringing together of two conflicting and complex worlds - family and business - often presents very unique challenges for everyone involved, be they part of the family or employees and advisors. The Family Business Book draws on Paul Keogh's expertise and decades of work with family businesses of all sizes, all around the world, to help their owners, family members and employees feel informed, empowered and equipped to make the right decisions and navigate the ups and downs, successes and disappointments.
