Publisher's Synopsis
How do individuals get trapped in their family business? What does it look like when someone is trapped? Is exiting the only option? Would changing your role or expectations be enough to feel differently?
Based on interviews with family business members, owners, and their advisors, Trapped in the Family Business sheds light on this common yet unexplored issue and offers solutions for how to manage it. In the expanded second edition to this practical guide, Dr. Michael Klein shares research findings, insights, and how to avoid this challenging and complex situation. While most family business books focus on the family system as a whole, this unique guide was written for one person - the family member who knows that something isn't working for them (or worse) and their needs and interests don't align with those of the family business. A serious problem that can lead to broken relationships, depression, anxiety, and even substance abuse, feeling out of place or frustrated in a family business is far from unique. This book addresses the problem and doesn't shy away from looking at the causes. For more information, go to: trappedinthefamilybusiness.com
