Scenario
Big decisions made around the dinner table
Whoever is in the room decides, and the rest hear about it later.
- The situation
- The family owns a company and several properties together, but has no charter and no regular meeting. Decisions come up at holidays, and relatives who were not there feel left out.
- What we would do
- We start by talking with each family member, then help the family write a charter and set up a council. Draft papers go out ahead of each meeting, and financial education helps everyone follow the discussion.
- Where it leaves the family
- Decisions are made at a meeting everyone can attend, from papers everyone has read.
