Coaching Inspirations: August 2007 Archives

Recently, I have a chance to involve in a discussion on how to coaching a family business.

John A. Davis suggested in his article on "Five Steps to Family Negotiation" that negotiate over interests, not positions. If a family member doesn't know what his or her interests really are, a supportive family can encourage the family member to talk about possible scenarios and gradually uncover his or her true interests. This process requires patience and a nonjudgmental and positive attitude about the family member and his or her possible choices. In a trusting environment where an individual's true needs, goals, and fears can be expressed.

Of the seven BACC members who have done Step 2, five have passed with flying colors on their first try. That's a 70% pass rate."
