My observations have convinced me of the fact that there is an acute lack of Delegation of Authorities and Power within Indian Family Owned Businesses.
The tradition has been followed for generations now and unfortunately it has led to an imbalanced allocation of resources alongside persistent waste of valuable men power.
This has turned this nation into a graveyard of unborn leaders. On the other hand, the western world did recognize the immense individual capacity, but used the firepower for their individual benefits to a greater extent. Here the entrepreneurs keep all the decision making in their own hands and hardly delegate authority of decision making to the other members of the team. This happens primarily due to lack of hiring professionals and in due process most of them hire wrong person for the job that ultimately leads to a defective organizational structure.
With these defective organizational structure, the Family Owned Businesses suffer the growth potential and in few cases the survival itself.
Growth
When an organization lacks balanced delegation of authorities the weaker links within the organizational structure usually are unable to contribute enough and this eventually hampers the growth of the organization. No matter how strong the product or service may be, in today’s competitive market achieving planed growth is important for the long term sustainability of the business. The concentration of decision making at the higher levels of organizational structure also takes a toll on the efficiency of the Senior members in the structure. With the Family Owned Businesses in India it is very evidently observed that the Owners and the core team fail to identify the growth potential in the first place and therefore even fail to formulate the growth strategies. Thus keep themselves deprived of realizing the possibilities for growth in their business Family Owned Businesses tend to limit themselves in boundaries constructed by ignorance.
Vision
Imbalanced delegation of authorities also leads to divided collective Vision of the organization. With divided collective vision results in either conservative decision making of an over confident decision making that ultimately divulges the prime element of having an undivided collective Vision for any organization. Having an undivided collective vision consistently contributes in the achievement of individual goals and targets for each member of any organizational structure. Achievement of individual goals and targets by the members of an organizational structure result in achieving the Vision of the organization. Where the Promoters of the Family Owned Business are often observed with the lack of Vision themselves, the team following is not to be blamed at all.
Operations
A balanced allocation of powers within an organization also brings an Operational ease. The day-to-day operations need a lot of micro as well as macro level, less weighted as well as highly weighted decision making. The balanced allocation of powers would act as a lubricant required for acceleration of processes within the organization. An efficient decision making body at any organization would at the same time rationalise departmental functioning of the business. When every department of the business is boosted with an efficient decision making leader, the team following that leader performs with the same level of efficiency. Same way it also contributes to building self-confidence for every member of the team. This enhances the individual performance of every member of the organizational structure and provides a steady and hassle-free operations to the business.
The key to understanding the need of delegation of authorities and to be able to gauge and identify the levels and intensity of the exact allocation of powers and authorities can be achieved when an organization is backed with a well formulated Business Plan.

India & Family Owned Businesses
As a rapidly developing nation, India has a major chunk of businesses owned and operated by Family members only. Although majority of these family run businesses are successful and are operational in modern times also, every business has its share of challenges and setbacks.
The changing times have proven to the world that the “only” key to keep up with times and achieve sustainability is to identify and adopt to the changes required time to time with an open mind set.
The most hurting factor that I have experienced with family owned businesses is that every business owner has an emotional attachment with their Business rather than connecting emotions to the sale of the product or services.
There is a huge lack of awareness about the need of Professional skills and Business Planning.
The distance to prosperity and success can only be travelled when the tanks are filled with required fuel.
It does matter to have a very good leadership but equally important is to have a perfect planning and ex*****on team alongside to keep the goals and mission intact.
There is a very thin line between professional thinking and emotional thinking. There are a very few entrepreneurs who are able to separate their personal beliefs and thoughts from professional facts.
What practically happens over a passage of time is that the Vision and the Concept of Growth suffers over the passage of time and then it is too late because a lot have been invested and a lot of development has gone haywire. And this situation is even more dangerous rather than starting all over again.
The excess to outside opinions and the diversity of team is the key to the timely new age developments and availability of innovations in a particular Business. A thoughtful consideration to an outside voice with adequate skills can always lead to wiser decisions.
Mostly it has been observed that family owned successful businesses end up creating profiles according to the candidate instead of having an appropriate team matching the profile requirement for the business.
