Dealing with the Unique Work-Life Challenges of Family Businesses
By: Josh Baron and Rob Lachenauer
Abstract
Maintaining a work-life balance in family businesses can be challenging. The extremes of being "all in" or "all out" are unproductive. The article highlights the importance of setting boundaries, separating family time from work time, using effective communication, creating healthy silos, achieving financial independence, and establishing an identity outside the family business to strike a work-life balance in such environments.
