The Little Brother Syndrome
(05/11/2010) John Grubbs

Business People Sitting“The Little Brother Syndrome – How Does Playing Up Make Us Better as Grownups Too”

By John Grubbs

As the father of two boys almost 8 years apart, I have observed some amazing things about struggle and challenge.  While not unique to my own children, something strange and positive occurs when a child tries to play and match ability with an older sibling.  This article is about the application of this observation to our own growth as adults.

Does innate competition drive a smaller child to excel in the presence of a larger, stronger and often more skilled older brother or sister?  Why does the smaller child accelerate capability?  And, is it possible to apply this same growth to the development of our ability as professionals?

Watch for the complete article this Friday!
