Families, and their businesses, operate under a complex set of rules—some written down and explicit, but many not… what are the written (or unwritten) rules in your family? In this video, CFAR Principals Debbie Bing and Todd Smith discuss the importance of the social contract in today’s family enterprises.
Debbie Bing was featured in the Family Matters Video Series, hosted by Family Business Magazine‘s Publishing Director, David Shaw. Their discussion touches on topics from Debbie and Nancy Drozdow’s talk, “Syncing Up Short-term Action with Long-term Vision,” which they presented at Transitions in November 2020
