Diversity in Enterprising Families

Listen to Annie Koh talk about leveraging the talents of all family members to encourage diversity in enterprising families.

I think in our culture, a lot of times, many families always respect the number one sibling. So in many cultures, even if the second or third child may have fantastic good ideas they will normally take their cue from the big brother or the big sister. That nobody look at just pure sibling order. And that many times, you will have to see who comes into the pictures with different strengths and different roles and who should leverage on each other for the diversity that’s within the family. In many corporate business we absolutely want diversity, but in a family, sometimes we forgot to strengthen the diversity in a family and give different roles to different siblings and not just automatically expect the most from the eldest son or the eldest daughter.
