Family or Community
“Some family trees bear an enormous crop of nuts.” – Wayne Huizenga
I read a couple of quotes this week that caused me to contemplate life inside a CPA firm.
So many firms proudly state that their firm (that employs people of different ages, backgrounds, cultures, and personal beliefs) is a family. The CPA firms I have interacted with that function as a family is a firm that family members own. And most family firms employ people who are not relatives.
So, does saying you treat everyone working at our firm like family really a true statement?
Here are the two quotations.
“Unless you are a family business, your team is not a family.” – Todd Henry
“A community is a group of people who agree to grow together.” – Simon Sinek
I hope you are building a community.
- "The other night I ate at a real nice family restaurant. Every table had an argument going."
