Essential Family Business Values
Succession planning in family businesses often deals exclusively with the passing of financial assets and management skills to the next generation. In this book, however, Lance Woodbury suggests that furthering the family’s legacy requires a focus on the values that define the organization.
Family Business: Genesis 37-50
and the Family of Joseph
by Lance Woodbury, William Long
A unique look at the connections between family business and the Christian faith. The authors draw upon the story of Joseph and his family to provide counsel for modern entrepreneurs, especially those running multi-generational family enterprises. Some themes may seem eerily familiar; sibling rivalries, parental favoritism and reconciliation are all discussed with the modern family business in mind.
