Family Wealth: Keeping It in the Family by James E. Hughes
  This is a must-read for families who would like to circumvent the old saw, shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations. This is a very readable book that invites families to lengthen their planning from five years to 100 years in terms of maintaining themselves as owners of wealth. Mr. Hughes cites some interesting histories to demonstrate what seems to create success, and makes the case for utilizing the three types of capital available to families: human, intellectual and emotional.

The Stewardship of Private Wealth by Sally S. Kleberg
  This book is a guide for those finding themselves with assets, but unsure about wealth management. The U.S. now is in the midst of a great transfer of assets from the World War II generation to the baby boomers. This is magnified with the increased consolidation of businesses, frequently resulting in the sale of the business causing a transformation of assets. The author has extensive personal experience on the pitfalls and best ways for wealth to be managed.

Beer Blast: The Inside Story of the Brewing Industry's Bizarre Battles for Your Money by Phillip Van Munching
  If you enjoy hearing histories of other family businesses, this is an interesting one that also talks about the beer industry. While this story is about a sale that was regretted, it can be instructional as long as one keeps in mind that not all sales go this badly.

Leadership and the Job of the Executive by Jeffrey A. Barach and D. Reed Eckhardt
  Leadership remains one of those qualities that everyone knows when they see, but it is very difficult to teach or accurately describe. This book does a very good job and is especially applicable to family owned businesses. New outside directors, presidents or senior management employees will all find this book very useful and readable.
