Abstract:
Suzanne Hammer of Hammer & Associates, an advisor to family foundations and family offices, examines five family dynamics that can make operating a philanthropic enterprise challenging—founders who expect their children to carry on their philanthropic goals, reluctance to let go control, differences in beliefs, decision making style, and conflicts that can arise when bringing non-family members into the group—and suggests ways of working through and overcoming these obstacles.Keywords: Resolving Common Family Conflicts
