You are currently a computer technician employed by Tech Assistance, Inc. The company provides a wide range of services, including computer system setup, PC and server repairs, and upgrades, virus and spyware removal, data recovery services, and Internet security. The company was founded by Erin Wilson about five years ago. You are one of five technicians who make service calls and occasionally work in the repair center when needed. You like your work but feel a sense of frustration when fellow employees fail to give their best efforts. The owner is very effective in solving technical problems but often displays poor people skills. She simply does not pay attention to employees, to what they are doing, or to how they are feeling. She knows almost nothing about their hobbies, family status, or personal concerns. There are times when you feel like quitting, but you like solving technical problems and helping customers with their computer needs. You have decided to meet with Erin and provide some suggestions on how to become a more effective leader.

How would you manage a family meeting to decide if you have to close the company or try to save it? Imagine the composition of the family is: a) two brothers are the partner b) every brother has 2 children c)s 50% of the children will be part of the company

In this company, “X” you have a technical partner (50% of the capital), that is the new husband of the CFO (the remaining 50% of the capital). They are going to retire. They want to sell the company, but the son of the CFO (currently marketing director) wants to keep going on (he raised the revenues 800% in the last 5 years). How to solve the problem?
