Читать книгу Complete Family Wealth - Keith Whitaker, James Hughes E., James E. Hughes Jr. - Страница 27

Here are some ways for a family to grow its family relationship capital:

1 Consider beginning or continuing the practice of holding regular, well-designed and facilitated family meetings to discuss topics of importance to the family as a whole.

2 Set aside time during a family meeting to work on enhancing effective communication among family members. That may take the form of learning about individuals' particular communication styles, understanding how different styles complement or clash, and developing strategies for navigating points of friction.

3 Talk about the reasons for including family members' spouses in important family discussions. What are the fears of or challenges to doing so? What do family members see as the benefits? Spouses often bring valuable perspectives to family discussions, in addition to being the parents of the future rising generation.

4 If the family suffers from breakdowns of trust, respect, or fairness among family members, use resources to secure consultation for members to surface, manage, and possibly resolve these conflicts.
