I have always thought that friends and family should not work together in the work place. However, I recently saw two short videos on the financial post where two entrepreneurs stated otherwise. Daniel Debow, Co-Ceo of Rypple is a co-founder with his best friend and states that although most people do not suggest working with friends, the working relationship can be amazing. Debow asserts that when working with friends, one should communicate upfront about expectations and over communicate continuously. Jacquelyn Cyr, CEO of Espresso thinks that if there is skill set match and talent understanding then friends and family are ideal candidates to work with because they know you the best. Wow, I guess you do learn something new everyday!
