Maintaining Sanity in the Family Business

Maintaining Sanity in the Family Business

  • François-Pierre Chevalier
  • Bio-K+ International Inc.

Running a family business is not for the weak.

Our company is Evergreen to its core. It started with a businessman with a visionary idea who wanted to create something he could hand down to his children. Through Perseverance the company has flourished, and we children are now at the helm. But our most consistent struggle over nearly 25 years has been balancing our very different skill sets, leadership abilities and temperaments. I guess we can say we succeeded because we still want to spend time with each other outside of the office.
