She employs a brisk snappy style – dare I say hip – to give us a fully referenced and intelligent analysis of what makes and breaks family enterprises. Written for both specialist and layman, Florence Tsai draws from ancient Greek and Asian mythology, studies on what makes healthy relationships, the complexity and richness of family dynamics and even dares to bring in child development, all the while proving her point with case studies of particular businessmen who either succeeded or failed or both. She explains what enables families to be nourished by their predecessors and create a successful family enterprise. For those interested in family enterprises (who isn’t?) but also for the philosopher, economist and historian, Florence Tsai’s \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Rising\u003c\/i\u003e provides telling insights into how capitalism really works, how it adapts, innovates, disrupts and continues to survive in ways both surprising and exciting. I do wish someone like Karl Marx or Joseph Schumpeter could have had the chance to read it.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNick Papandreou\u003cbr\u003eBrookings Global Leadership Council economist, Secretary of the Andreas Papandreou Foundation, author of \u003ci\u003eA Crowded Heart, Mikos and Manos\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Magical Path to the Acropolis, \u003c\/i\u003eand screenwriter of \"Little Greek Godfather\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Florence Tsai has worked with family organizations from founders to next gens, and \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Rising \u003c\/i\u003eoffers both the weight to convince and the tools to inspire.

Great inspiration for your life’s journey in business. Lots of tips on how to develop all the talent you’ve got, so you can build value for all to share.

My own journey began by working with my mom and my dad’s brother, Bill . . . then with my wife, our four sons, and Bill’s three sons . . . and soon (I hope) with many more from the fourth generation. Read this book and remember: give your rising leaders many chances to shine, back up your innovators, and don’t let them slip away. Then, when you get to my stage, you’ll look back on your career and realize, it’s not all about the money you made or the successes you racked up, but the great people you had the good fortune to work with along the way.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJack Mitchell\u003cbr\u003eChairman of Mitchells Stores and WSJ best-selling author of \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHug Your Customer\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHug Your People\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eSelling the Hug Your Customer Way\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"This is a book that ushers in a new mindset, and a new direction for family business. Family enterprise has a perhaps undeserved reputation for lack of creativity. This book reveals the day-to-day, entrepreneurial energy of family business. It begins with stories from the past and present, written like no other business book I’ve read, in the style of the new millennial generation. It looks at how family business can become a ‘quantum machine’ for innovative growth and development. The core of the book covers the human life cycle, from childhood to elderhood, for insights on developing entrepreneurial focus, energy and results in family business. It’s full of stories of the creative energy of family and how it gets unleashed. You will never look at family enterprise the same way again after you read this.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDennis Jaffe, Ph.D\u003cbr\u003eAuthor of \u003ci\u003eWorking with Those You Love\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003cbr\u003eResearch Fellow at Wise Counsel Research and co-author of \u003ci\u003eCross Culture\u003c\/i\u003e\"Florence Tsai is an amazing resource for large families looking to take a longer term vision on their legacy, family business, and working with all family members. Guiding a large family through small and big changes takes patience, time and resources. While many put emphasis on short term gain and monetary reward, Florence shows in \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Rising\u003c\/i\u003e that experience, guidance, mentorship and immersion in the new economy are what puts families on track for long term success.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrian Koo\u003cbr\u003eFounder of Formation Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"In \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Rising\u003c\/i\u003e, Florence Tsai offers a new model with frameworks that advance the study of business longevity. Institutions are always looking for new insights, but business lessons often don’t translate well across sectors. The long-run horizons of multigenerational family-run enterprises turn out to be surprisingly similar. Who knew? I was inspired by the remarkable families whose stories of renewal appear in the book. Institutions grappling with disruption can learn to develop exceptional and resilient new \"Phoenix\" leaders, experiment more, and make keep-or-kill decisions quicker by following Florence’s \"core and edge\" strategy. This book opens up new and timely discussions for leaders of all types of organizations that want to spark innovation and thrive for the next hundred years.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePareena G.
