Do-It-Yourself Family Meetings

The cost and sometimes unpredictable quality of outside facilitators may discourage business-owning families from having family meetings. They may find the do-it-yourself approach to be more comfortable. Tips to increase your probability of success include: 1. Elect at least 2 family members to facilitate the meeting. 2. Have multiple family members involved in planning and running the meeting. 3. Provide for training. 4. Set the rules first. 5. Pay attention to details.
