The owners of a sixth-generation agricultural business faced a tough decision.
“Should we continue family ownership of the business?” they asked themselves.
The owners were struggling to reach a decision when they were encouraged to take a family retreat. Through that retreat, they unified around a decision: keep the business family owned.
A family retreat is a dedicated time for family members to step away from the stresses of daily operations. It gathers all members together—across generations—to tackle issues, voice concerns, and, ultimately, come away united around a long-term plan.
