Fathers' New Book: Parenting Skills Key to Business Transformation
Five fathers, including Benjamin, have authored 'Die Kunst der Transformation - Was Führungskräfte von der Elternschaft lernen können'. They argue that successful transformation in business requires not just structural changes, but also attitude and humanity.
The authors, all experienced entrepreneurs and fathers, draw parallels between family life and workplace leadership. They believe that raising a child hones skills crucial in the economy, like patience, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and risk-taking. The book emphasizes that change can begin with small, authentic steps, especially for medium-sized entrepreneurs. Real transformation, they argue, is about adaptability and cultural development, not linear change or fixed structures. Leaders must shape change strategically while leading with humanity, embodying values, and embracing digitalization.
The authors share personal anecdotes from family life, highlighting the importance of emotional strength and self-reflection in corporate leadership. They stress that transformation is an ongoing process requiring personal growth, empathy, and adaptability.
In 'The Art of Transformation', the authors provide insights into modern leadership through the lens of parenting. They argue that successful transformation requires not just structural changes, but also attitude and humanity. By drawing on their experiences as fathers, they offer a unique perspective on the skills and qualities needed for effective leadership in today's fast-changing world.
