What the Families Must Do

PROFESSIONALIZE MANAGEMENT: More well-trained managers are needed at the top

REFORM THE BOARDS: They should have more outside members with good credentials as managers and investors

FOCUS THE BUSINESS: Family companies are sometimes too diverse

PAY ATTENTION TO SHAREHOLDERS: That means managing to increase returns to investors, not the families

UPGRADE ACCOUNTING: Clearer financial reports attract investors and increase the pressure on companies to perform
