Episode 122: “Family Roles on The Farm” w/Elaine Froese

In this week’s episode, we speak to Elaine Froese, Farm Family Coach, about “Family Roles on The Farm”.

To be successful in a family business, defining each family member's roles and responsibilities is crucial in creating a culture of professionalism, personal responsibility, and accountability. While the principle is clear, the practice is sometimes harder to implement.

In this week’s interview, Tracy and Elaine speak about:

• The "three circles" family business model and why it is important to know which circles you are in.
• The importance of establishing roles within the farm business and why this conversation should not be ignored.
• Who gets to work on the farm? Does your DNA guarantee you a position?
• Hiring procedures similar to those of any traditional non-agriculture business. What happens if it does not work out? Can you fire a family member?
• Work-life balance in farming and why it is important for health, happiness, and relationship harmony.
• Are you in the ownership circle? Has it been discussed, or are vital stakeholders operating on assumption and outdated discussions?

If you are part of a multi-generation farm family business, you will not want to miss this episode. Elaine shares a tremendous amount of wisdom to help farm families avoid common pitfalls when it comes to working with family.
