Yes to this. When the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th show up, you know how they want to operate the business.

They've hired him so Bob can play good cop, until the Manleavy Bad cop needs to step in to get the deal done.

One of Jerry West's kids is also an executive with the Dubs.

There are plenty of businesses that expanded once the children took over too.
A few famous kids who followed their parents into the family business off the top of my head ... Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Kobe Bryant, Peyton Manning, Barry Bonds, Ken Griffey Jr., etc.
It happens with business too. The Fords did it with great success, Porsche, Fidelity Investments, Icahn, Murdock, Newman, Berkshire Hathaway, Comcast.
Kirk busted his ass to earn the spot and he's been doing a good job from all accounts.

Yeah, it certainly doesn't always work, but it's not right to assume it is always going to fail either.
Relationships are central in most businesses, we just have to hope they are responsible with their promotions.

It more often than not does not work. Instead of their children looking for their own path, they are assigned one. They may not even have the aptitude, see Buss's kids as example.
It just means a Joe Lacob climbs his way to the top in some other organization and we may eventually be left with Jed York. The problem with sports ownership is there is no penalty for being mediocre or downright terrible.

I don't know that we have data on that. The reality is that the kids of super successful people are deeply exposed to their habits. They don't always stick for sure, but they often do.
It's like when people would talk about ex-athletes getting management and coaching jobs and it was "because they were famous" and "they didn't earn it" and "what do they know about business", and yet a lot of them succeed at a high level.
To assume it's bad is the only issue I have with this whole thread ... it has succeeded often enough that assuming it will be bad is just wrong.
