Reviews

'I think the Family Business Leadership Series books are excellent. They are extremely concise and practical, and they have the information you need.' - Gigi Cohen, EVP, Magrid Glove & Safety Mfg. Co., LLC, USA

'Make Change Your Family Business Tradition talks about what I see as the most important, challenging part of a family business leader's job. It focuses on key survival issues. Not everyone will agree with everything the authors say, but it raises good questions that make you re-examine and re-affirm or adjust how you lead change in your organization.' - Robert E. Don, CEO, Edward Don & Company, USA

'While each volume contains helpful 'solutions' to the issues it covers, it is the guidance on how to tackle the process of addressing the different issues, and the emphasis on the benefits which can stem from the process itself, which make the Family Business Leadership Series of Unique value to everyone involved in a family business - not just the owners.' - David Grant, Director (retired), William Grant & Sons Ltd., (Distillers of Glenfiddich and other fine Scotch whiskeys)
