Reviews
‘Ik heb zo goed als alle boeken van Louis Cauffman dus hoorde “Developing and Sustaining a Successful Family Business” bij het rijtje. Werk je met familiebedrijven of maak je er deel van uit … go get this book. Overzichtelijk, onderbouwd, vol handige tips en onderhoudend.’
Philippe Bailleur
‘The title exactly reveals what this book is about. Many books have been written about how to develop a family business, how to sustain it, and how to be successful. This book is different. It is the first book ever to thoroughly apply the solution-focused approach to the field of a family and its business. Cauffman pours his more than 25 years of experience into a format that is didactic, informative and highly readable. The storyline of the John and Annie family runs from the inception of the business to the arrival of the third generation. In between, the reader is effortlessly provided with many tools; useful insights from the solution-focused approach and updated best practices for the protagonist, his family, non-family family managers and the company’s strategy.’
Prof. Mr. Jozef Lievens, lawyer and family business consultant, Managing Director of Belgian Family Business Institute, FFI Fellow
‘This is a special book that is written not for a professional audience or a business family, but rather one that is designed for both. Advisors can use it to add the solution-focused approach to their expertise, develop their own toolkit and work with families, while families can use it to look ahead to anticipate and prepare for each developmental challenge that is destined to emerge. This is a special book that will help so many advisors and families to chart their future, and deal with the deep and special family bonds that lie at the core of their shared life project.’
