Dear Reader, 

With the advent of the new year, we tend to make new resolutions and break them as well in a few weeks or months. The irony is, we want to change, improve, become happier but somehow cannot retain our motivation levels for a longer period. 

This is the scenario I am observing at the family business front when the next-gen is contemplating to join the ongoing business or has recently joined the business. The enthusiasm, motivation, aspirations are at the peak for a while but the reality of accepting commands of family members, being critically watched by the employees, and a lack of guidance or systematic training dampens their enthusiasm. 

The motivation to work in the family business goes down and the youngsters start looking for another career. 

How to keep youngsters motivated when they join the family business? A planned Induction with training certainly helps the inductees motivated and also learn about their inherent qualities and skills that need to be developed. Here are two interesting articles about Induction in family businesses. 

Happy Reading!
