Family businesses transitioning from the owner-manager stage to a larger and more diverse family ownership group often lack the practices necessary to assure owner alignment and avoid conflict. Many times, owner groups are perched on the lip of what we call the “conflict spiral,” ready to descend into fractured communication and hostile relationships.
