Individual and family governance involves the overlap of two broad areas: governance of the family business and governance of the family.
Conscious governance of the family business recognizes that typical metrics for a great business are no longer sufficient nor rewarding to the constituents involved. Individual leaders, employees, stakeholders look to the conscious business leaders to create more opportunity for personal development, social and ecological impact while living and enjoying a great life.
Conscious governance of yourself and your family is a more subtle topic requiring much deeper personal work.
Family governance models provide a valuable framework to formally discuss family issues like family and business stewardship.
The conscious family knows that great family governance goes beyond the traditional models and takes a more in-depth focus to the personal development and conscious awareness of all family members.
The goal of this personal development is to build strength of character and awareness. A personally strong sense of character emanates from a deep feeling of personal security and self-worth. Additionally the conscious family aims to create the following traits empowering all family members:
- not giving up easily
- always learning more
- being rigorously present
- being open to new ideas and ways of doing things that don’t compromise values
