5.0 out of 5 stars The Power of Values, August 29, 2008
This review is from: Family Business Values: How to Assure A Legacy of Continuity and Success (Family business leadership series) (Paperback)
John Ward provides an excellent overview about the power of values in a family business - how the right values can help the business for generations to come, but also how the wrong ones can hamper success. He also provides a good description about how a family's personal value systems affect the business unit and vice versa. A must read for anyone interested in building a lasting legacy!!!
