In family businesses\, conversations between generations often focus on the nuts and bolts of everyday management and the strategic direction of the business. Conversations about relationships easily get bypassed\, e.g.:
• What frequency and kind of communication do we want with each other?
• How might self-accountability increase in family and non-family relationships?
• What issues do we tend to avoid because of discomfort?
• Which family patterns contribute to or impede progress?
• How do we work through conflict?
• How do we stay in tune with what the other thinks about\, wants and fears?
As long-time leadership teachers and coaches\, John and Nick Engels have worked with hundreds of family business founders and next-generation leaders to strengthen communication\, deepen understanding and make decisions that advantage both the business and the family. \;
More importantly\, they have engaged with each other as a father-son team to face tension points\, acknowledge mistakes\, confront difficult issues and build greater clarity\, courage\, and accountability in their relationship.
Based on Bowen Family Systems Theory\, and their own extensive experience working with family businesses\, John and Nick will present three impactful strategies for strengthening communication between the generations\, and engage attendees in practical improvement opportunities within their own families.

What last year's attendees said:
"Full of wonderful information from generations of leaders."
"Family business - the reality series."
"Each speaker was thoughtful and unusually candid. The crowd was also very well curated\; exclusively family members of family-run businesses." David Teten\, Managing Partner\, HOF Capital

About Leaders in Family Enterprise: In Practice and Theory
Family businesses are the predominant form of business organizations in the world contributing an estimated 70-90% of the global GDP. In the United States\, family enterprises contribute over 64% of GDP and generate 62% of employment. The greatest part of American wealth lies with family controlled firms. These firms are distinguished from other enterprises by the significant influence of the controlling family on the creation\, continuity\, mode and extent of growth\, and exit of a business. This course aims to prepare students to work effectively and professionally\, in and with family firms\, to launch and create cross-generational value and wealth in family firms.

As the youngest of four sons\, he grew up and worked in a family enterprise all of his life. The Box Family controlled a number of public and private companies with interests in oil &\; gas\, cement manufacturing and real estate. Following his father's sudden death and a litigious four-year family ordeal\, Doug led the sale of the oil and gas concern known as Box Energy Corp. In 2005 he formed \;Box Family Advisors (http://boxfamilyadvisors.com/) \;and began helping families with succession planning\, corporate governance\, dispute resolution and family meetings. In 2014\, Doug published his first book\, \;Cutter Frisco – Growing up on the Original Southfork Ranch. \;In the fall of 2016\, Doug released a second memoir\, \;Texas Patriarch – A Legacy Lost\, which focuses on his father\, Cloyce Box\, and how their family business and wealth evaporated due to poor planning and family conflict. \; \; Doug attended college at the University of Texas at Austin. He received an MBA with honors at Baylor University in 2004 and a Masters in Dispute Resolution from SMU in 2011. He also holds the Certificate in Family Business Advising from the Family Firm Institute. \;About the Upstate Owners Forum Family businesses face unique challenges\, as well as opportunities.
