Tips to Build Self Confidence

Listen to Dr. Lee Oi Kum discuss the importance of self-confidence in the rising generation, as they enter the family business. In a family business, high expectations are commonly held for those in the next generation. Gaining experience by working outside the family business can help develop confidence in the rising generation before they enter the family business.

I would imagine my next gen, there are 15 of them, from the eldest is from my family, 36 years old, the youngest is 21 (?). It’s better that you find yourself first by working outside so that you have a level of confidence how much you are being valued. Because when they come to join the public listed company, everyone knows that they are being trained for higher up the ladder. And there’s always people saying that, “well, that’s the bosses son”, how would you feel if people kept saying that, right? So if you have a valuation of what you are worth in the outside market, then I say it will give you better confidence.
