The Voice of the Rising Generation

Beschreibung

Praise for THE VOICE OF THE RISING GENERATION "Hughes, Massenzio, and Whitaker have given us a model for voicing and listening to the challenges and opportunities heirs face. They encourage self-reflection through an exploration of Homer's Odyssey, real-life profiles, and questions that promote a deeper and broader understanding of the context for assessing risk and making choices regarding wealth and one's life path." --BONNIE BROWN HARTLEY, President, Transition Dynamics Inc; co-author, Family Wealth Transition Planning "This book speaks directly to individuals struggling to find their own voice in the family enterprise, clarifying the challenge and importance of individuation for all of us. The bite-size chapters are easy to absorb, and there are three workshop strategies at the end to help you get started with the critical conversations." --SARA HAMILTON, Founder and CEO, Family Office Exchange "From brass tacks practicality to insights and inspiration, the authors have provided a helpful guide that is both refreshing and timeless, illuminating key challenges and choices facing rising generations." --ANNE D. MCCLINTOCK, Executive Director, Harvard University Planned Giving "Bravo to Jay Hughes, Susan Massenzio, and Keith Whitaker whose The Voice of the Rising Generation??acknowledges that the younger--rising--generation has choices, hope, and vision where they may have thought they had none; poses questions that are bound to spark conversations among and between generations that have long been stuck and silenced; and provides tools that are bound to develop resilience, confidence, and competence in readers." --ANGELO ROBLES, Founder and CEO, Family Office Association "Jay Hughes, Susan Massenzio, and Keith Whitaker have once again reframed the dialogue surrounding the possibilities of multi-generational success.??By recasting the journey inheritors must make from following, or being 'Next,' to 'Rising,' the authors infuse the passage into adulthood with the possibilities of self-actualization. The Voice of the??Rising Generation provides an important guide to cultivating the human capital, which is where the strength and ultimate success of a family lies." --MINDY ROSENTHAL, President, Institute for Private Investors "Jay Hughes, Susan Massenzio, and Keith Whitaker share with the rising generations of legacy families what the unconventional Lionel Logue offered to King George V--the priceless pathway towards finding one's voice and the faith to know that it is worth the journey." --JOHN A. WARNICK, Founder of the Purposeful Planning Institute
Avoid "Shirtsleeves to Shirtsleeves" by Finding Your Voice Growing up in a family with significant wealth or a family business can often feel like an exercise in silence. What should you ask? Whom should you ask? When? Is it ever right to talk about such things? The Voice of the Rising Generation speaks directly to those who find themselves living in that silence, the so-called "next generation." Great wealth or a family business can act like a "black hole," sapping the dreams and aspirations of future generations who feel that they can never measure up to the fortune's founder. This book, written by a psychologist, an educator, and a wise counselor who single-handedly changed the landscape of family wealth, diagnoses with economy and precision the cause of entitlement and dependency. It is not too much money or too few chores. It is the failure of rising generations to individuate, that is, to pursue their dreams, develop their resilience, and find their voice. Many books are addressed to parents and grandparents who worry about the effects of wealth on their descendants. Almost alone in the field, this book speaks directly to 20-, 30- and 40-somethings, encouraging them--literally, giving them courage--to meet the challenge of integrating wealth's power into their lives, rather than disappearing into the black hole. Readers will: * Come to understand the true causes of entitlement and dependency * Identify the psychological characteristics of the rising generation and the challenges proper to its development * Clarify their own dreams, work, and vocation * Navigate personal relationships and communication within the context of wealth * Recognize the special challenges faced when rising is delayed until mid-life. If you are a young person who is starting your life's journey and wondering about the effects of parental gifts, trusts, or a family business, this book will offer you questions, reflections, and lessons-learned to help you find your own way. If you are a parent, grandparent, elder, or mentor, The Voice of the Rising Generation can serve the young people in your life as a gift more precious than gold.
