The Power of Two2 eBook
Couples who run a business together have unique challenges. Juggling roles, sharing power, managing risk and talking about money, just to name a few. These challenges demand greater coordination and communication than for couples who work separately. Very simply, when couples share both a business and personal relationship, it’s a tricky balancing act.
The Power of Two2 is designed to help business couples manage the challenges they face in starting or growing a business together. Margaret and Ron Wilson share what they’ve learned about balancing acts, both as advisors to Business Couples and as married business partners themselves.
Working and living together presented challenges that quite honestly we hadn’t counted on. We thought our shared interests were enough. What we realized is that we needed help to make us business partners.
The goal of owning a business together felt right, but we found our actions didn’t always match up with our expectations. We knew we needed an outside perspective. Ron and Margaret helped us define our roles and communicate better.
For Entrepreneurial Couples – When Business Is More Than 9 To 5
Entrepreneurship is surging. In 2020, there were more than 4.4 million new businesses started – a 24% jump from the prior year. In many cases, founders are counting on a sibling, a spouse, or a colleague with a complimentary skill set.
To help you increase your business alignment and personal connection, we’re sharing six of our favorite conversations about communication, conflict, roles and more. This compilation might help you discover new and meaningful ways to Work Better Together.
Most leaders accept that at some time in the future, their time at the helm will end and the business will be given into the care of the next leader. However, just thinking about the transition can be daunting and overwhelming for the senior leader. If that weren’t enough, most owners experience their own succession just once. Tandem Partners provides the experience and professional guidance needed to move through the strategic, operational and interpersonal issues that are all a part of transition.
When it comes to developing leaders and teams, one size does not fit all. Your business is unique, and has specific strategies and capabilities that drive it forward. We help you identify and develop the specific leadership competencies that make you who you are as an organization and who you’d like to be. We work with leadership teams on the real issues they’re facing now, helping them to see more, be more, do more and lead more effectively, together.
For families in business, success is not just measured in fiscal years, but over generations. Yet often, leaders are so focused on the day-to-day that they aren’t able to step back and focus on the issues that impact long-term sustainability. We help leadership teams assess where they are now, where they’re trying to go and how they’re going to get there. Our expertise in the areas of organizational strategy, structure, process and performance is a unique feature of our work, and integral to our transition management approach.
