All In: Family In Business, Part One
If you thought family business was all unicorns and rainbows, think again. The family business is a source of income, professional growth, AND a major source of identity.
Michele Wink, CEO of UP Professional Solutions, is one of five children. Her father founded an engineering firm. In this interview, recorded on the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Michele tells us about the lessons her family learned about succession, contingencies, and how to build a family identity that can withstand any trial. This is part one. You won't want to miss part two!
Surprise Best Practice: Michele’s parents staged a summer camp at their home for the entire 3rd generation, and started a 3rd Gen Club. Every grandchild was eligible for the club once he/she could read. Then, the company was open to those children to learn about the business. Each member of that generation is close to one another as a result of those practices. Definitely a win for the Winks!
