They highlight the value of open communication and the concept of a "safe space" within family businesses, which is vital for addressing challenges and fostering growth.<br /> <br /> Julie’s one piece of advice to the Senior and NxtGen…there has to be a mutual level of respect and sometimes that's a challenge. Under everything, there needs to be a reciprocal respect. Irrespective of the others' views.</em></p> <div> </div> <p><em><strong>If you would like to keep up to date with all our insights, latest research and stories, <a href= "https://veritage.us10.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=3da720b500abd093821ef2508&id=0e86594e93" target="_blank" rel="noopener">click to subscribe</a> to our "Veritage Insights  Newsletter."
