I like this word dedication in our family business because it explains how hard my parents the founder of the business worked to shape it into a successful indusrty . This may reflect the tension between me and my siblings as second generation to be dedicated and disciplined to continue the business in the same way .

Your reflection on dedication captures a key tension in family businesses—balancing founder values with second-generation leadership. Exploring how dedication shapes decision-making or creates pressure within succession planning could add depth. Referencing a case study or framework on generational transition would strengthen your insight. How do you and your siblings define success differently from your parents? That comparison could enrich your post and spark further discussion.
