Cause #21

In this episode, I explore how parenting styles shape family culture, personality development, and ultimately, the success or conflict that emerges in family businesses. I explain how early childhood experiences - whether from authoritative, authoritarian, permissive, or neglectful parenting - can resurface decades later in workplace dynamics, relationships, and decision-making. I also share how families can reframe past experiences, heal emotional wounds, and use understanding, empathy, and forgiveness to build stronger relationships and more resilient family enterprises.
