Family Business Audiocast · 2024-03-21 · 37 min
In this episode of The Family Business Audiocast, host R. Adam Smith welcomes Elizabeth Bagger (founder of Avante) and Lena Chihab (manager of FBN Levant) to discuss family business governance across global contexts. The experts explore the primary challenges family businesses face when establishing effective governance structures, highlighting family dynamics, intergenerational communication, and conflict resolution mechanisms as universal concerns. Bagger emphasizes how family dynamics often undermine even well-designed governance frameworks, while Chihab provides regional insights from the Middle East. The conversation examines the delicate balance between preserving legacy and fostering innovation, the increasing role of women in family wealth office leadership, and how family constitutions can serve as educational tools for next-generation engagement rather than mere control documents.
