The only way we can achieve results through other people is if we maintain specific roles and understand the need for boundaries. When we define roles, responsibilities, accountability, ownership and private matters, we are creating boundaries. This is, in effect, strategic planning for your family business.
Family members must not meddle in areas for which they do not have responsibility. Failure to define boundaries between family and business often lies at the root of many family business problems. Boundaries need constant maintenance if they are going to do the job for which they are intended. You will find that well-maintained boundaries often provide solutions to family business issues.
