在家族企業工作？創建自己的人脈

當你在家族企業工作時，你可以假設你將繼承家庭人，但你仍然必須積極主動地建立自己的交際圈。

妳可以與父母或祖父母輩的同齡人建立聯系。從不同的背景和經驗水准接觸有助於你獲得很多觀點。考慮一下與現有商業夥伴之間的關係，可以跨代轉換。

保持這些長期聯系很重要，但不會自行發生。你也應該有兩個或三個親密顧問，你信任的人給你回饋和建議。

他們不一定是你這個年齡段的人；有時候，年長的同事也可以給你和你父母一樣的觀點——沒有情感包袱。不要害怕使用你的家族品牌。如果你的姓氏可以為你打開門，就好好利用這些機會。

Work in a Family Business? Create Your Own Network

When you work in a family business, you may assume that you’ll inherit the family network. You might be handed a few contacts, but you still have to be proactive in building your own rolodex.

Form connections with both peers and people from your parents’ or even your grandparents’ generation. Having contacts from a variety of backgrounds and experience levels will help you get many points of view. Think about which relationships with existing business partners can be transitioned across generations.

Maintaining those longstanding ties is important, but it won’t happen on its own. You should also have two or three close advisers, people you trust to give you feedback and advice.

They don’t have to be people your age; sometimes older colleagues can give you the same perspective that your parents would, for example — without the emotional baggage. And don’t be afraid to use your family brand. If your last name can open doors, take advantage of those opportunities.
