I've just finished listening to Debrayh and Mary's wonderful conversation about the Flow book. One of the things they mentioned early in the conversation was about families and flow. They didn't go into this point in detail, but the passing comment reminded me of another conversation I heard on Charlie Rose earlier this year.
On June 16, 2008 Charlie Rose conducted an interview with three Emanuels: Ezekiel, Ari, and Rahm. The last brother should be familiar to you as Rahm has just accepted the position of Chief of Staff within Barack Obama's cabinet. Rahm is currently a congressman from the Chicago area. (By the way, he's a great selection for Chief of Staff: intelligent, straightforward, committed.) It turns out that all three of the Emanuel brothers have been very successful in life, but have all ended up doing very different things. The conversation covers several topics, but the most central and interesting is the discussion about how the family dynamics worked when they were growing up. In turn this conversation provides some important insights into how parents can create a flow structure within the household.
I'm providing the link to the Charlie Rose video of this conversation. It's 25 minutes long and is optional viewing. Some of you may find it very useful.
