Many successful family businesses globally hit top levels under the stewardship of the sons and daughters of the founders.
Weaned on business, people like Mukesh Ambani of Reliance Industries, India, and the Mars, Walton and Koch brothers, all of who appear in the top 20 in The Forbes rich list, have inherited their businesses from their fathers.
And while it could be argued the founders would have had the same levels of success or even more, it is important to appreciate that sons and daughters, who might not be expected to share in the dreams of their fathers, are able to steer such businesses to greater heights even in instances where they do not achieve much.
