Voices in Leadership: The Rising Generation
What does it mean to inherit a legacy?
In our latest Voices in Leadership interview series between Pitcairn Chief Knowledge and Learning Officer Amy Hart Clyne and distinguished family dynamics expert Jay Hughes, the two unpack the role of the rising generation in a family’s long-term perspective and prosperity.
Honoring and Advancing Everyone’s Dream
Every human has dreams. How they are realized can play a significant role in family dynamics. Amy and Jay reflect on how families can incorporate individuals’ dreams and use them to inform seventh generation thinking – the guiding principle behind Pitcairn’s Gen7 Project™.
The Beneficiary’s Burden
Amy and Jay look past the legal trappings that come with beneficiaries and trustees to unpack the human side to these roles and discuss why so many young people see their trusts as a burden. Amy reveals key insights from her ongoing conversations with young female family leaders.
Advice for Families
To engage with the next generation, a family of significant means desires to pass down valuable skills, family values, and ideals to ensure their future success across generations. To teach the top-of-mind topics, including family financial perspectives, family values, and priorities, parents and older family members must incorporate a broader array of educational activities such as life lessons that can be shared based on personal experiences.
