Building an enterprising family and a thriving family business across generations is one the most challenging task any family faces. Much advice has been given and best practices transmitted to the senior generation, yet the questions and needs of the following generation may have been ignored. In their ground-breaking new book, Enabling Next Generation Legacies, Professors Peter Jaskiewicz and Sabine B. Rau fill this void. They give the next generation a voice by listening to their most pressing questions and drawing on 90 leading academics, practitioners and enterprising families to provide clear, relevant and succinct answers. The responses tackle pertinent questions in four areas – family, business, ownership and wealth – enabling “next gens” to build their legacies in their families and enterprises.
Jaskiewicz, Rau and FBN – in the context of the twentieth anniversary of FBN’s NxG community – have partnered to provide best practices and real-life experiences and testimonies to address the most pressing questions faced by next gens in enterprising families. Join this session to learn more about the questions that keep next gens awake, and the answers that will empower them to thrive.
