What differentiates great family business leaders?

Why are some business families able to be both financially successful and relationally unified?

What distinguishes powerful family firms from those that are constantly struggling to balance their family and business priorities?

How do we raise responsible children of wealth?

Dr. Fast will draw upon two decades of Family Business consulting and research to share Family Business Leadership best practices. Often humorous, sometimes poignant, but always insightful, John will teach inter-generational leaders of family firms how to Define, Balance, Develop and Manage the competitive advantage of the ‘Heart – Work’.
