I frequently get questions on working together as a family. Making a family business work requires a predetermined commitment. Sharing the work, the responsibility, the leadership, the ownership, and the caring will avoid roadblocks.
All of us need to feel wanted. Sometimes a correctional comment hurts even though it's unintentional. A family working together needs to affirm each other. Over time folks will forget what you say. They will even forget what you did. But they will never forget how you made them feel.
Sharing responsibility is a must in working together. A father's goal should be to have his children and grandchildren become better at a job than he was.
The older generation should not get caught napping in making a plan for the future. It's so easy to put it off because folks either don't want to or don't know how to incorporate the next generations.
It's so true that the jobs on a farm just never seem to quit. Taking time to acknowledge your accomplishments can range from as little as stopping for coffeetime to as large as planning an outting or even a vacation.
A family that works together, shares together, and cares together will grow and accomplish their mission no matter how little or big their bucket is.
