Description
In a family business, leadership is more than a job, it’s a role that affects generations. As the founder or current leader, you don’t just manage strategy and operations. You hold the weight of expectations, relationships, and legacy. It’s a burden that often goes unseen by outsiders and unspoken inside the family. That’s what makes it so heavy.
The Weight of Leadership in a Family Business is written for those who carry that weight every day. In this powerful eBook, Scott De Long, Ph.D., explores what makes family business leadership uniquely complex, and deeply meaningful. You’ll gain insight into how emotional ties shape decisions, how unspoken expectations cause unnecessary pressure, and how avoiding tough conversations can quietly erode trust within your team and your family.
More importantly, this book gives you the tools to do something about it. You’ll learn how to foster open communication, clarify roles, prevent burnout, and create a more sustainable leadership approach that works for both the business and the people in it. Topics include succession planning, managing blind spots, balancing family dynamics, and leading with humility, empathy, and vulnerability.
Whether you’re building a transition plan, dealing with sibling dynamics, or simply trying to be a better leader for both your team and your family, this guide offers a path forward. It’s not just about surviving the challenges, it’s about creating a thriving, values-based business that your children and grandchildren will be proud to carry on.
