“Strengthening family ties builds shareholder value,” by Peter Begalla and Steve Lytle, Family Business Magazine, November/December 2012
Trust is required in order to share “Aha!” moments in an open, clear and meaningful way.
Trust arises from exposing ourselves by laying our mind and our heart out for all to see. We set an example by being the first to speak up and trust others with our feelings and needs. This lets others know they will not be blamed, shamed or corrected simply for expressing their own ideas, feelings and needs.
This kind of trust-based vulnerability requires physical presence. We believe that the most powerful way to create a cohesive family enterprise where vulnerability-based trust can be practiced is by holding regular, facilitated family meetings.
