The Soul of Family Business

“If you are an owner of a family business or consult to one, The Soul of the Family Business is a must-read. This is a hands-on book that captures Tom’s many years of dealing with family businesses.”
–August Aquila, CEO of AQUILA Global Advisors, LLC

"... Insights into the inner workings of family business by one of the top consultants in the field."

Tom has seen first-hand the challenges family businesses face and his life’s passion is to help them grow through them (or prevent them if possible). The Soul of Family Business takes readers on a journey through the heart and soul of family business using case studies from his more than 35-year career as a family business consultant. Tom explores what it takes to run a successful family business, illustrating how love is the foundation and family values are the secret sauce for success.

The Soul of Family Business covers topics such as the development of a shared vision for the family and for the business, tackling ”speck of dust” issues, creating individual and organizational strategies to ensure a personally and financially rewarding business, and wealth preparation planning to ensure that family values continue to emphasize a family culture of gratitude, philanthropy and living purposeful lives.

Tom works to keep the “family”
in “family business.”

And his clients agree that his work helps strengthen theirs.

"While nothing tops the value and impact of interacting with a family business consultant face-to-face, this book is a wonderful source of practical tools and thoughtful reflections tested over a lifetime of Tom's consulting work. It is a candy store of delights, of lessons, for people involved with business families of every age and stage."
