    Jan 14 2026

    In this episode of The Org Health Advantage, Keith Hadley and James Felton sit down with Andrew Keyt for a candid conversation on what really makes family businesses thrive—or unravel. From founder-to-sibling-to-cousin dynamics to the hidden “hats” people wear, Andrew reveals why most family enterprises don’t fail from strategy—they fail from unresolved relationships. You’ll hear how healthy governance creates clarity, how leaders earn credibility in the “successor’s curse,” why dividends can mask deeper emotional stories, and how to balance “business first” decisions with “family always” commitment.
