You can only hope

Tonight I watched a documentary on ABC TV called dynasties. Tonight's family story featured the Ansett family.

If you can get hold of a copy, probably from the ABC shop, watch it. Then hope like crazy that, in your family business, you never treat your children as Reg Ansett did.

Unfortunately I have come across a couple of owners of successful family business in recent times who remind me of Reg Ansett. They will get everything they deserve however their children will have lost a major part of their lives pandering to their father's whims.

Families in Business can be and should be a wonderful team effort with everone sharing in the success..
