Forkids Business Guidelines

Organizational analyst, I could see all sorts of companies, but most of which I have certainly learned in the family. Being the most abundant and are estimated to constitute between 75% and 80% of stage business in Argentina, while in other countries is even higher percentage is undoubtedly a world where power relations , human relationships and direct political individualizes, succession, inheritance, are the essence that sometimes weakens and strengthens even the most solid structures.

It is remarkable how the same themes recur in each other, whether consisting of the first, second or third generation, kinship and marriage, children, siblings, brothers, sons-in-law, daughter-in-laws, friends and even some of they. The more complicated are the development and growth of the company. Not that they are family, but because they are people who also bear all the wonders that we all human (some more than others) such as egoism, individualism, pride, desire for power, lack of self-criticism, etc.. and other highly positive and enthusiastic leadership, professionalism, decision, discretion, ability to discern, and so on. (contributing to the nutritional company) share blood ties, emotional, decision making, and nothing less than economic power.

Dealing with many founders of family businesses and sharing countless meetings directory, I could establish clearly what options were most often repeated:

Communication

This has two facets: no time to talk and not listening. It is notable failures in communication faced by family businesses. Many of them have no directory of meetings, committee meetings or as you want to call them, which calls on all those involved directly or indirectly, in making decisions. These meetings should be conducted at least once a week, with fixed days, hours, start and end times, to which all members must be a written agenda with priorities.

Someone should make a new coordinator prioritize all the issues to be dealt with at the reunion. Each item must have a set time and that the external consultant or coordinator must ensure that no leave the content itself, so the meeting does not spread too much.

These meetings start with time but the end time is indefinite, no good, because bored and demotivate to appear at the next meeting.

It is also important to take note of all the salient points of the measures to be followed, you agree with each topic for the next reunion will begin with what was advanced in the previous one. When things are OK, all feel that the reunion directory is useful and necessary. If you have not succeeded, try to correct, but it is important to start now.

Failures in communication do not occur only because the company did not meet, that would be very simple, there are various ways of making a seamless information. Not knowing how to listen is something that happens to us most and we must correct. In a highly competitive society, one problem is lack of time, which often leads not to take this time to listen.

Usually we do not communicate well with customers, not only do not speak, nor hear, and they have much to say and much of that information to better serve us. And if you look inside the house many times we see would be nice to get a foot on the accelerator just because we talk little and listen to our spouse and our children.
