This week on The TRU Leader Podcast, we're joined by Cathy Carroll, author and a third-generation leader in her family's business. Cathy shares her journey and insights from her book *Hug of War: How to Lead a Family Business with Both Love and Logic*. After two decades in corporate roles, Cathy returned to the family business, encountering tensions between her profit-driven approach and her father’s investment-focused mindset. The narrative explores the complexities of managing familial relationships alongside business operations, particularly during generational transitions that often lead to conflict due to differing values. Non-family executives also face challenges, exemplified by a COO who felt demoted because of family-driven decisions. Emotional intelligence is highlighted as key to balancing personal relationships and professional responsibilities. Cathy underscores the importance of understanding family dynamics, balancing long-term goals with adaptability, and navigating polarities like tradition and innovation. Governance and succession planning in family businesses require unique approaches, balancing set criteria with flexibility for unexpected talent. Polarity thinking is introduced as a method for managing conflicts by holding opposing truths simultaneously, such as investment and profit harvesting and privileges and responsibilities. Cathy emphasizes that recognizing these polarities and differing perspectives is essential for improving the overall functioning of family-owned businesses, particularly during leadership transitions.

In this conversation, Juston White talks about the steps he took to advocate for his sister’s care when she developed rapidly progressive multiple sclerosis – including becoming her legal guardian. He reflects on the challenges of guardianship and the importance of giving his sister a voice in her care decisions. Key Takeaway: advocacy often includes addressing more than medical needs ·     Establish a relationship with the hospital or health systems case managers and social workers. ·     Expand your own definition of advocacy. Legal and financial advocacy can unlock additional benefits. ·     Be open to guardianship.

Host: Darryl S. Chutka, M.D. [@chutkaMD] Guest: Atul Jain, M.D., M.S. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women and it’s responsible for 1 in every 5 deaths. It’s estimated to cost over $250 billion a year, which includes the cost of medical services, medications and lost productivity. Patients with cardiovascular disease are commonly seen in a general medical practice and since it’s such a common health problem, we’re all pretty comfortable managing these patients. But do we know what’s happening pathologically? What’s the role of cholesterol and inflammation in cardiovascular disease?  What causes the inflammation? How do we measure it and most importantly, can we do anything about it? I’ll be asking these questions of our guest, internist Atul Jain, M.D., M.S., from the Division of General Internal Medicine at the Mayo Clinic as we discuss the interplay between cholesterol, inflammation and thrombosis in cardiovascular disease. These talks on Inflammation and Cardiometabolic Disease are sponsored by Novo Nordisk Learn more about this series HERE Connect with the Mayo Clinic’s School of Continuous Professional Development online at https://ce.mayo.edu/ or on Twitter @MayoMedEd.
