Thank You To Our Partners The Institute, AutoFlow, AutoLeap, Shop Dog Marketing, In-Bound
In our episode today:
Craig is talking about family business dynamics with Maryann Croce – Fellow Toastmaster at Remarkable Results Toastmasters, fellow Transmission Repair professional, and industry friend who knows the good – but understands the struggle so often described when you combine business and family.
Fittingly…
Today’s Word of the Day is:
Neoptism
nep·o·tism
noun
- the practice among those with power or influence of favoring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.
Maryann brings a well earned perspective to this topic and presents many practical tips for families to work better together.
Listeners will particularly benefit from hearing Maryann’s three questions for business owners to ask before bringing in family members. By the conclusion you’ll be ready to better support, value, and listen to our family colleagues – making for a stronger communication and culture.
While this topic emphasises family dynamics, all listeners will benefit with some of the topics benign applicable to any business. Maryann also introduces the term ‘context switching’ while describing the difficulty of wearing too many hats – and explains why families tend to do this even more than other businesses.
