Coming Soon: Genograms for Family Business by Guillermo Salazar
A genogram is more than a family tree. It is a visual map of a family’s relationships, patterns, roles, and connections.
By learning to read what lies beneath the symbols, we can uncover dynamics that are often difficult to see in conversation alone. But a genogram is not simply a tool for the consultant. It is also a way for individuals to reflect on their place within their family and to explore how they experience the system they belong to.
After all, we are shaped by the relationships we have with our parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, and generations before us. These connections continue to influence us, whether those family members are present in our lives or not.
The real power of a genogram, however, lies in the story behind it. Without the person’s own narrative, it is simply a collection of symbols open to interpretation. When the story is added, the picture comes alive.
This book explores how genograms can become a powerful tool for understanding families — and, particularly, the complex emotional systems at the heart of family businesses.

What happens when the people you love are also the people you work with?
In this pioneering book, acclaimed family business consultant David Bork takes an honest look at both the challenges and the rewards of working with family.
Drawing on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Murray Bowen and his theory of family systems, Bork explores what happens when the pressures of running a business meet the complex emotional dynamics of family life.
Sibling rivalries, addiction, relationships with in-laws, conflicting values and different expectations can all find their way into the workplace. But these challenges don't have to stand in the way of building a successful family business.
