Family Business Conflict

Sixty five percent of voluntary terminations are the result of unresolved conflict.

A huge percentage of couples who get divorced say that the decision was based at least in part because they couldn't communicate.

Success in business and in life requires an atmosphere of shared goals in order to be successful in the long run.

Unresolved conflict results in poor decisions, power grabs, intimidation and a break down or the cooperation so important for you long term success as a farm, business, family or individual.

At the same time trained mediators are not typically 'on call' so you are left to work things out on your own. Workplace conflict resolution is mostly a do-it-yourself process.

You can either have an organization that lurches from one crisis to the next or one that has an internal process resulting in an environment free of conflict.

An organization with a conflict prevention strategy is a joy to witness and a great place to spend your life in.
