Formalize The Love
Join us to learn how Love in a Family
Business Can Be Formalized
You
have likely heard poet Robert Frost’s proverb, “Good fences make good
neighbors” from his 1914 poem, Mending Wall. When it comes to family business,
Tom Hubler believes that “formal structure supports family love.”

what’s best for their company and avoid fights. Especially in start-up
companies, each working family member operates more independently with little
official structure or formal communication. This creates communication voids.

states a family business needs three types of meetings to formalize

Today,
Tom continues his long-standing dedication to helping families of wealth and
family-owned businesses succeed. He helps families develop a shared vision for
the family and for the business; identify individual talents; tackle any
unspoken issues; and create individual and organizational strategies to ensure
a personally and financially rewarding business. In addition, Tom assists
families of wealth with the creation of a wealth preparation plan that ensures
family values continue to emphasize a family culture of gratitude, philanthropy
and purposeful living.
