In the upcoming master class, “Managing Emotions and Relationships in Family Businesses,” Dr. Shehnaz and Dr. Syed will address the issues and challenges family business owners face in managing their emotions and relationships within their businesses.
Drawing from the insights gathered from in-depth interviews with family business owners and leaders, they will explore the strategies and best practices for addressing the emotional strain that often accompanies the dual roles of family members and business leaders. And will validate their findings through a real-life case study and participants’ engagement.
They will examine how to establish effective emotional support systems, recognize the signs of emotional burnout, and foster a culture of empathy and emotional intelligence within the family businesses. Furthermore, they will discuss the importance of setting clear boundaries between family and business relationships, ensuring that personal relationships do not compromise professional decisions, and striking a balance between family hierarchy and business hierarchy to maintain respect and efficiency.
By the end of this master class, participants will gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of managing emotions and relationships in family businesses and acquire practical tools and strategies to navigate these challenges, ultimately leading to healthier relationships and a more successful business.
