Family Business: Siblings

(continued from page 3I ) their journey to be a positive and contributing member of societywhether they have an active future in the business or not. Do not shelter your children from hard work or hard choices; you will not be doing them any favors.

Advice to qdult siblingsz Take honest stock of your work ethic and your willingness to sacrifice for the common good. Whereas your parents had the luxury of making decisions on their own, siblings have to be able to compromise. If one or all of you are not able to make some sacrifices for the good of the whole, joint ownership or management of a business will not be successful. Acknowledge when you need help. Go out of your way to recognize the efforts of others. If you are spoiled, take responsibility for the hard choices of grown-up life, or recognize that you cannot hope to be a successful shared owner of a business.

. Powerful Vision: When the founders are beloved by all, it can be hard for the sibling generation to emerge from their shadow. The more the founders are revered, the harder it is to fill their shoes. And, the harder it may be for the sibling generation to find its own voice and purpose, when any deviation from the parent's approach is seen as blasphemy.
