Читать книгу Complete Family Wealth - Keith Whitaker, James Hughes E., James E. Hughes Jr. - Страница 36

 First, at some point in their early history, flourishing families form the intention to build not only a great fortune but also a great family. This is the fundamental intention, without which little else can follow.

  Second, these families articulate and share their core values, and they keep those values alive through example, education, and further discussions.

 Third, these families respect and encourage individual differences. They support members' separation and individuation as members of the family discover their own dreams.

 Fourth, these families keep their collective focus on their strengths. They face challenges squarely but don't let liabilities become their focus.

 Fifth, flourishing families share history with family stories that are told and retold through the generations. They sustain and celebrate their traditions and rituals.

 Sixth, parents see themselves as both teachers and learners.

 Seventh, such families understand the importance of individual stages of development and integrate that understanding into parenting.
