Two partners – whether they are siblings or friends that decided to start a business together at a young age have built special and intimate relationship: "We share secrets that we wouldn't even tell our spouses". They know each other's abilities very well, and their weaknesses, too. They complement each other, share challenges and achievements, accompany each other in choosing spouses and having children, rejoice in moving to a new house, support in the illness and death of parents and suffer the children's "growing pains" together.

Can the quality of a sibling's partnership be predicted? We believe it can! A partnership of brothers or sisters is a partnership of destiny. They are born to the same family, with different genders and in a certain order: an older and younger brother, the second brother and fourth sister, five brothers, two sisters, twins, etc. This (imposed, if you will) partnership of destiny, grows and evolves in the family. Some siblings are closer than others. Between some siblings, abysses of pain may develop – which are expressed as infinite rage, permanent hatred and a continuous fight. In most...

These findings supported the notion that family dynamics reveal people’s core emotional pain, which drives their personal quests and motivation, and leads to the roads along which they develop the legacies of past generations (Yanai, Yanai & Milo,...

Based on years of experience in consultation and career development with owners and managers of enterprises, the authors depict a psychological portrait of the typical entrepreneur, versus the typical manager, along with their "passion quests" and distinct relations to the business. A central tool used to enrich both the counseling of and the dialogue between entrepreneurs and managers is the understanding of their family dynamics. It is suggested that each comes from a different family dynamic with different energy sources and motivations. Entrepreneurs were often raised in relatively...
