5.0 out of 5 stars A must have, 7 Sep 2007
By R. Wyatt-Haines "Richard Wyatt-Haines" (Devon, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A great book; easy to read, stimulating and very practical. This is a must have book for anyone working in or with family businesses. It will shame you to realise what you don't know, and make you realise that there is much more you can do for your business, your family or your client.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to cope if you are involved with, or own, a family business, 14 April 2009
By Rolf Dobelli "getAbstract.com" (Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Planning, starting, operating and retiring from a family business can be difficult. Issues such as succession and pay, corporate governance and recruiting top talent pose special problems for these kinds of organizations. Rivalry among siblings who inherit a family firm is often the kiss of death for even the strongest family business. Nonfamily members, even those who are senior executives or directors, often feel that the family treats them unfairly or fails to listen to them. In this new book, Peter Leach analyzes and provides excellent advice about how to solve such seemingly intractable problems. His suggestions come out of his long experience successfully advising family-run businesses in the United Kingdom. getAbstract recommends this sage and savvy book to family-business founders, successors, inheritors and nonfamily executives or directors.
