Et tu Brute? The Hatfield’s and McCoy’s. This series is about Good and Bad Family Dynamics in Action.
Oppenheimer uses his own family’s extensive family dynamics as a case study. There is no depth to which a loving family will not sink when sabotaging family dynamics are creating havoc with your goals. Do you know the Top Ten Danger Signs that family dynamics are overcoming your 100-year plan? Acknowledging family dynamics is an art form.
There will be dynamic issues in your company, philanthropy or family office. Succession and family dynamics are a part of every arena. There will always be changes, marriages, divorces, deaths or births. As if it weren’t complicated enough dealing just with family members, we must be prepared to handle the entrance of our own or other family member’s beloveds. If children from a previous marriage are also a part of this scenario, do they automatically become included in the trust? These are serious considerations that directly affect the rest of the family. The answer is great communication, transparency and trust. Knowing the pitfalls in advance can save years of tears and discord. A family change for which there is no plan becomes a family crisis.
