FAMILY DYNAMICS IN THE FAMILY BUSINESS/SUCCESSION PLANNING

Doug Box

Sponsored by Pepkin & Associates

 

There is no family business story that doesn’t involve some degree of conflict.  It’s a well-known fact that the #1 reason many family-owned businesses don’t make it into the next generation is due to excessive family conflicts brought on by a lack of succession planning.  Doug’s story has to do with the staggering impact that conflict can have on a family and relationships. Doug Box is a family business consultant, author and public speaker based in Dallas, Texas.  He is a frequent presenter at family business forums across the country as well as a guest lecturer at several universities on the topic of family business. In September of 2014 he published his first book, Cutter Frisco, Growing up on the Original Southfork Ranch.  In October of 2016, he published a more extensive memoir about his father called Texas Patriarch – A Legacy Lost. In 2005 he formed Box Family Advisors and began helping families with succession planning, corporate governance, dispute resolution and family meetings.  Doug brings personal experience to his understanding of family dynamics.  As the youngest of four sons, he grew up and worked in a family enterprise all of his life.  The Box Family controlled a number of public and private companies with interests in oil & gas, cement manufacturing and real estate.  Following his father’s sudden death and a litigious four-year family ordeal, Doug led the sale of the oil and gas concern known as Box Energy Corp.  Doug attended college at the University of Texas at Austin.  He received an MBA with honors at Baylor University and a Masters in Dispute Resolution from SMU.  He also holds the Certificate in Family Business Advising from the Family Firm Institute.
