WHEN HBO’s acclaimed series Succession was in its first season, I was discussing the show with friends over dinner. They marvelled at how Logan Roy, the patriarch of the family, continually pitted his children against each other in order to win their father’s approval.
Having had a front-row seat to countless family disputes, my first comment was that reality can be even more complicated than what was depicted on the show.
In the ruthless world of corporate politics, the show raises important questions about how a wealthy family should protect its own interests, generate harmony among its children, and ultimately create sustainable multi-generational wealth – which was pretty much by not doing everything that Roy was doing.
