Business Families Academy - The Next Generation Family Business Leaders

Listen to Margaret explain the experience as the new generation entering a family business. Having an understanding of the impact of an individual's role in the bigger picture can help the new generation appreciate entering business.

Margaret-Jean Mannix I think understanding how much bigger the businesses were than just me really helped me step into a stewardship and understanding, a stewardship role and the understanding of what it takes. The understanding and appreciation of the responsibility of providing for others. Capability, consistency, trustworthiness: I think those are three real critical values, certainly in our family, that the next generation needs to have and needs to be able to demonstrate. The healthiest family businesses are the ones that can integrate and build upon the individual dreams.
