From the Author

I wrote this book for the next generation, keeping in mind the first-generation successors of powerful entrepreneurial founders in particular. It is my hope that after they have read this book, they will share it with their parents, and it will help them begin a constructive dialogue between the generations.

Works for churches too!

I just bought two more of these books! The first one is now in circulation at our local Presbyterian church starting with the pastor. I had read 3 chapters before I realized the book has a lot to offer for a church that is struggling with inter-generational issues. Now I need one for myself as well as another one to loan out. Your excellent ideas and observations are expressed in clear, concise and universal language. Bless you.

Manual About Family Business

Reviewed in the United States on August 4, 2019

I was always wondering how people succeed in the family business since the most of people are not very fond of their bosses and also, most of the people like their families but don't like to be told what to do by some member of the family.
In the case of the family business, you have both of the situations combined and I took this book not because I plan to have a family business but to find answers how such a business can work at all.
I must admit that I found answers to most of my questions. At the beginning of the book, there are chapters about communications between members of the family and arguments why it is crucial for everything and not just for the family business. I think that most of the families fail at this step, and that is the main problem. They don't talk and if they do, they don't do it properly. And when you have no communication, you don't have a relationship. Private of professional doesn't matter. That is the thing which answers most of my questions.
The rest of the book has the same practical approach to the family and to the business and I was reading it as I really plan to have a family business one day. The text is well written, the topics are clearly discussed, each advice is followed by example and so on.
For all those who plan to have family business, or just a family, I recommend to read this book.

A Practical Guide from a Learned Practitioner

Reviewed in the United States on July 31, 2019

Dr. Milo's easy-to-comprehend guide to a number of universal issues in family businesses and organizations is the product of my favorite combination of a psychologist/management consultant: (1) a person grounded in theory, largely derived (at first) from an academic Ph.D. program; (2) many years of counseling and consulting experience "in the real world," to combine with theory; (3) an understanding and application of both rational and emotional factors in resolving issues; and (4) a kind, warm and expressive way of communicating and working with her clients and readers to ensure maximum success.

We've known for many years that adults go through often-predictable developmental stages, just like children do. Dr. Milo brings that same concept to how families deal with issues related to businesses and organizations, with particular attention to generational succession. She provides interesting, readable examples to illustrate the issues she has experienced as a consultant and practical solutions, focusing on the (not so easy, but important...) necessity of family members to identify, "confront" (meaning "deal with") and communicate openly about the ramifications of the circumstances.

I found the book inciteful, well-written, and very helpful for those people dealing with the vagaries of family businesses. It should be comforting to know that what you are experiencing in your family business is not necessarily unique to you, but generalizable to many families and therefore understandable and resolvable.

Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2019

I used to work in a family-owned restaurant, and I can testify for most of the problems Tamar raises. It’s true that running or working in a family business is very hard - because of the tight relationships, and the lack of professional borders, it can easily lead to fights in kitchen, scream and throwing of pots and pans around (trust me on this). But it can also be one of the most rewarding experiences. For most people, their job starts at 9 and ends at 5, and then they try to avoid working and their co-workers as much as possible. But a family business can be much more rewarding - and I think Tamar books has the key to how. But more importantly, in my opinion, this book can be used to turn a regular business into something that resembles the support and sense of community that is so integral to a family one.
I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone who’s looking to live in a more supportive and caring work environment.

An eyeopening reading experience

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2019

I found this book extremely useful, and surprisingly eye-opening. Every business is unique in their own way and at first, I had a hard time believing that family businesses have enough things in common to be written down into a book. But I came to realize that I was wrong, seeing how Tamar Milo breaks down different common problems while offering her solutions. Family businesses are unique in the way that they are built on such emotional bonds, which sometimes can complicate things, like when the business is moving down to a new generation. I really felt that this book was well-researched, Tamar Milo has really taken the time to put her expertise and wisdom into a well-written and useful book. I also enjoyed the quotes at the beginning of each chapter from Jewish texts. They were really interesting and gave a new sense of perspective. Highly recommend this book!

Great insight into this reality

Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2019

As someone who owns a family business I have to say I can personally relate to almost everything Dr Milo says in her book. From the practical advice regarding managing these businesses to the description of feelings and situations you encounter I think this book is an accurate analysis of family businesses - had some throwbacks myself honestly. Also it's an easy read, not one of those "guides" that you end up putting away because it's too boring.

Would recommend the book to people who own a family business and want some practical advice for different kinds of situations. Also if someone wants to see what it's like to have a family business because they are thinking of starting one this is some good insight.
