Passing Down the Farm 2010 – Double Secret Conflict Will Kill You
Is it really conflict that’s the problem or just poor communications?.
A young farmer, one of five members of his generation, complained to me that the stumbling block to the farm’s success was his cousins.
They were not all bad people, they just created conflict whenever important decisions had to be made.
He knew he would get the blame when things went wrong and they would pounce on every opportunity to take the credit when they worked out.
