When inherited family businesses create sibling conflict

My brother and I inherited our family business together and while we work well operationally, we have completely different visions for the company's future and neither of us wants to buy the other out. We're both equally invested but pulling in opposite directions, and family dinners are becoming tense because we can't stop thinking about work even when we're trying to just be siblings.
