Managing Emotional Minefields Within Family Businesses
"Adam looked at the customer standing at the counter in the wine cellar in disbelief. He couldn鈥檛 believe what he was hearing. He found the customer鈥檚 comments to be slightly rude. Adam felt anger brewing inside of him and thought to himself, 鈥淭his is MY family鈥檚 business and I should really show this customer who鈥檚 the boss here!鈥� Adam, thinking he can do whatever he wants, let his anger out and shouted at the customer to leave his wine cellar. The customer angrily left, and soon Adam heard from his neighbours that word was spreading that members of his family business treat customers poorly. Soon, Adam鈥檚 wine business had a negative reputation in the nearby community and lost some of the winery鈥檚 loyal customers who simply stopped their regular visits. Adam thought to himself, 鈥淪hould I have hidden my anger and simply smiled at the customer that day? Would things have been different today for my family鈥檚 wine business?"
