A point is reached in the life of a family-owned or closely-held business where in order to continue growing it needs to begin a process of transitioning from an owner-centric to a management-centric enterprise. This is one of the top challenges for businesses where family members maintain tight operational controls.

In order to move forward from this point new systems and procedures need to be established in areas of organizational structure, fiscal management, operations, marketing and sales, business development and even in the way a receptionist answers the phone.

I recently joined business attorney Nina Kaufman on a podcast hosted by Business Exponential.com, where we discussed this challenge and ways to meet it. Click here to listen: Scale From Owner-Centric to Management-Centric with Rick Raymond.

I would like to hear your thoughts and questions about this and other family-business challenges and concerns. Please contact me though my website.
