Family legacy and leadership are important subjects that have a great influence on the future of the family as a whole and a profound impact on the lives of its individual members.

Although each family has its own history and unique destiny, this book will bring to all families a deeper understanding of their legacies and a practical approach to their leadership. As a result, leaders, members, and advisors alike will be able to manage comfortably both the continuity and change that families require.

An appreciation of family legacy, as set out in these pages, begins with an understanding that legacy is as much about the future as the past, and that true family wealth is about far more than money. Equally, family leadership is often more about leading from within the heart of the family rather than from the head of the table. It is also about achieving the consensus and commitment necessary for family members and their leadership teams to master the risks, and capture the opportunities, they face together.

Rich with insights and new ideas, and full of practical examples, this book can help readers to preserve true family wealth in challenging times, and enhance the abilities of a family at any time to turn a financial fortune into an enduring family legacy.
