Conflict is part of the work—especially in a family-owned business. The challenge is learning how to move through difficult conversations in a way that protects both relationships and the business.
Join the Institute for Family-Owned Business for Communication & Conflict, part of our How To’s for the Family Business series—a series of practical conversations about the real work of running a family business: how you lead, communicate, and make decisions along the way.
Each conversation focuses on a different part of the work—how your business grows, how your people experience it, how decisions get made, and how things actually run day to day.
In this session, we’ll explore how to stay steady during difficult conversations, work through differences constructively, and navigate employee concerns, expectations, and complaints when family and business dynamics overlap. Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss real-world scenarios involving growth, succession, unexpected disruptions, and other situations where communication can make all the difference.
Whether you're a family business owner, leader, next-generation family member, or advisor, this conversation will offer practical insights and real-world tools to help you feel more prepared for the conversations that don't have easy answers.
