When siblings inherit a business with conflicting visions for its future

My brother and I inherited our family's small business when dad retired last year and we're discovering that our visions for the company's future are completely different - he wants to modernize and expand, I want to preserve dad's legacy - and every decision feels like we're choosing between progress and loyalty.

You are trying to honor the past while building the future, but your different definitions of respect are threatening both the inheritance and the relationship.
