In the stages of adult development, two issues that are perfectly normal but can pose problems were discussed. One was the need to resolve, usually in late adolescence, authority-figure issues, typically with the same-sex role-model parent. If left unresolved, difficulty with authority figures, such as business bosses, can pose problems later on. The other issue can arise out of the natural process of children’s individuation from their parents. Finding and using an outside mentor as a temporary life-coach often helps young adults in this individuation process. But David Bork pointed out that in family businesses, parent and mentor are one and the same, and that when the young person reaches the natural stage of drifting away from the mentor, this can lead to feelings of rejection on the parent’s part.
