Family dynamics often create difficulties in family businesses. For those without a family business, the same dynamics of anxiety that work in families are often at work in teams and other stakeholder groups. Understanding and skillfully managing these dynamics is important for leaders in family businesses and for leaders who are running teams impacted by similar forces.
