How Dynamics Change

Another implication of this is that family dynamics are likely to change in the future. Families that are undergoing generational transitions may soon encounter pivotal events such as retirement, illness, or death of a parent that can dramatically disrupt dynamics. Parents often occupy a central figure in the family, leading the unit and ensuring that members communicate with one another. These pivotal events can dramatically disrupt patterns of communication, family relationships, and dynamics among the siblings.

Further, as families progress into generation two, siblings experience changing dynamics individually, as they navigate increased prominence in the enterprise and collectively, as they form a partnership. Lastly, the focus of the siblings moves from the nuclear to the extended family: siblings may get married and have children of their own. Siblings are now navigating whether their loyalties lie with their family of origin or their newly founded family. In addition, the extended family grows to now include in-laws and grandchildren.

Navigating these dynamics so that they are constructive and not destructive is critical for business families crossing the generational gap. This requires an awareness that can only come about in families that are well connected.
