The Fundamental Question Of Sustainability - What Our Work with Families Tells Us
In our work with successful families over many years, we've learned that most grapple with a fundamental question:
Can our wealth be a resource that grows consistently and is not depleted over time while having a positive impact on those that use it?
Put another way, can our family's financial capital - what we own - work in harmony with our family's human capital - who we are? Or will it have a negative impact? Will the wealth destroy the family? Will it lead to dis-harmony and destruction? Or will the wealth enable the family to achieve its objectives and pursue its passions?
