Conflict Resolution

Conflicts will happen; it’s true in business because it’s true in life. According to The Family Firm Institute, 20% of family businesses report weekly conflict, another 20% report monthly conflict, and 42% report conflict three to four times per year.

There’s a difference between disagreements and conflict. Disagreements can be healthy and help solve difficult challenges. Conflict, on the other hand, can be destructive.

Confronting conflict, mediating disagreements, and creating a clear path to dealing with future conflict is the key to long term business and family harmony.
