The high cost of paternalism - corporate culture - Family Business - Column

Nation's Business, May, 1993 by Craig E. Aronoff, John L. Ward

We like this approach to loyalty and fairness.

We agree with a family-business CEO we know who wrote the following in the employee newsletter: "We prefer to think of a family business as one where all the members act like a family in two important respects. Members share a set of fundamental beliefs about the company. They also, like a family, say that `my job is not done until `our job' is done. They go out of their way to help and support each other."
