BOEK GELD & GENERATIES

Dit boek biedt een heldere kijk op de complexe wisselwerking tussen familie, bedrijf en vermogen. Het geeft diepgaande inzichten in de psychologie van geld binnen bedrijfsfamilies en behandelt thema's als money scripts, dividenden, verloning, financiĆ«le opvoeding en family offices. Deze onderwerpen worden vertaald naar praktische strategieĆ«n voor harmonie en langetermijnsucces in bedrijfsfamilies.In Deel I duiken we in de psychologie van geld binnen families. Welke onbewuste geldovertuigingen sturen jouw familiedynamiek? Hoe beĆÆnvloeden deze jouw financiĆ«le beslissingen? En vooral: hoe geef je niet alleen vermogen door aan de volgende generatie, maar ook de vaardigheden om dit te beheren? In Deel II passen we deze inzichten toe op praktische themaā€™s. Van dividendbeleid tot verlonen en family offices: elk hoofdstuk verbindt technische aspecten met familiale en emotionele aspecten ā€“ om zo tot duurzame strategieĆ«n te komen.
