In this episode of The UHNW Institute Podcast, Russ Haworth sits down with Bryn Monahan, UHNW Institute faculty and co-chair of the Emerging Leaders Initiative, Paul Edelman, UHNW Institute faculty member, and Jessica McGawley, The Rising Gen Expert, to talk about what it takes to develop the next generation within family systems and why that work looks fundamentally different from developing emerging leaders inside an organization.
The conversation focuses on how a strong sense of individual identity shapes long-term family decision-making. Together, they discuss striking the right balance between protecting and challenging the next generation, while highlighting how advisors can support growth without overstepping.
Topics discussed include:
- The difference between developing emerging leaders in organizations and developing family members
- Why identity, legacy and emotional maturity sit at the center of family development
- How personhood shapes the way family members make decisions
- The role of coaching and mentoring in building confidence and judgment
- How knowledge, experience and instinct work together under real responsibility
- How advisors can support rising gens without taking over their decisions
- The signs that point to readiness for greater responsibility
