Spanning a corporate dynasty’s rise and fall, Inheritance Lost: Heritage Transformed charts Henry M. Kaiser’s odyssey through legacy and self-discovery. Caught between past grandeur and future dreams, he confronts generational burdens with resilience. The book explores what a person inherits from family beyond material expectations—family history, responsibility, ambition, identity, and the weight of previous generations.

Natural Family Business Governance: A Mirror and a Lens introduces the concept of natural governance—informal governance that exists in every family business—and the Natural Governance Framework, which can describe and predict the outcomes of this informal process. “Natural Governance” emerges spontaneously and is sustained by the sensible practice in successful family businesses of moving forward by learning from their past.

The book also challenges the idea that formal governance is inevitably superior to natural governance and takes issue with the notion that there are universally applicable best practices that every family business should follow.

The Principles of Family Business Law offers an accessible approach to legal issues that shape family businesses. Drawing on years of research, the book introduces three principles—intimacy, integration, and inheritance—that explain why family businesses are distinctive and how, with proper guidance, they can thrive. The book examines recurring problems such as role conflicts among family members, succession planning obstacles, and ownership disputes. Case studies illustrate how legal rules interact with family dynamics in practice. Designed for scholars, students, lawyers, and business advisors, the book integrates insights from corporate law, family law, and estate planning, while remaining readable and grounded in real-world concerns.

Genograms for Family Business introduces the genogram as a practical tool for mapping and understanding these dynamics after the success of the Spanish-language edition published in 2023. Drawing on Guillermo Salazar’s extensive experience advising business families, the book shows how visualizing family structures, significant life events, recurring patterns, and relationships can provide valuable insights into the forces influencing both the family and the business. Designed for family business advisors, consultants, and other professionals working with enterprising families, it offers a structured way to look beyond the organizational chart and better understand the family system behind the enterprise.

La Consultoría desde Dentro (Consulting from the Inside) is a two-volume collaborative work bringing together the experiences and reflections of more than 50 family business consultants from Latin America, Spain, and other countries. Rather than presenting a single methodology, the collection looks at family business consulting through the experiences of those who practice it: the questions, challenges, lessons, and human dynamics encountered when advising business families.

Volume 1 focuses on the knowledge and insights developed through the practice of family business consulting. Volume 2 explores the relationships, emotions, values, stories, and legacies that shape business families beyond organizational structures and financial considerations.
