BOOK ONE OF THE TRILOGY
Only in a Family Business
True stories that reveal the human side of every business.
This isn't a book about family business. It's a book about who we become when identity, obligation and belonging get inherited rather than chosen. Family business is simply where that story is easiest to see.

Praise for Only in a Family Business…
"As a second-generation business owner, and someone who has helped tens of thousands of family businesses (40% of my clients are family businesses), I can confidently say that Dani Saveker has written a ‘masterpiece’.
It gives you an inside look at what really goes on in most family businesses and shows how you and the next generation can thrive."
GINO WICKMAN
AUTHOR OF TRACTION AND SHINE
“An insightful and highly practical record of the realities of running a family business. It demonstrates the commercial ups and downs and heartfelt employee considerations together with the associated personal and family relationship complexities with honesty and common sense. This book essentially offers lessons that could save business owners considerable time, money and heartache. Highly beneficial reading for anyone involved in owning, running or advising a family business. ”
“Dani has beautifully captured the essence of family business, bringing a rare and authentic understanding of the opportunities and challenges faced by multigenerational companies.”

Client Zero
Dani Saveker is a fourth-generation family business owner. T Saveker Limited opened in 1903 and closed in her hands in March 2009, after 106 years. Everything she has built since started there.
Over twenty-five years she built the GLAS Human Operating System - a way of seeing the seven elements that sit under every person, family and business, and what happens when they run under, over or in balance. She founded GLAS Group, speaks internationally on family business, and writes these books as the person the framework was first used on.
The stories we don't tell become the systems we can't see.
