The dynamics of a Family Business are often not recognized and often overlooked or avoided. How does one go about raising the Next Generation to be Adults and Peers in the business. We often hear phrases that seem to indicate “Children” aren’t competent successors. Yet to build a family legacy we need to prepare the Next Generation as well as ourselves. How do we help the Next Generation build their own identity, think for themselves, and understand each individual’s roles.

Don’t miss this critical and timely topic.
