For social workers, clients and community organizers looking for guidance for workplace stresses, the Family Business Resource Center can help.
Lately, all around, people are asking, "How does one avoid the Demoulas/Market Basket situation?" They usually add, "We don't want negative publicity! Our partnership/closely-held enterprise is looking for positive recognition."
How can it be done? By having open, friendly communication about known and unknown difficult issues, new solutions are discovered. Aligning stakeholders -- owners, employees at all levels of the organization, including vendors, customers, and the wider community, sharing the company's visions, positive recognition and success is attainable.
The Family Business Resource Center and David Paradise bring calm support and clear communication to rebalance business entities and family systems to meet today's needs and tomorrow's challenges.
