New Book 'The Art of Transformation' Links Parenting to Leadership
A new book, 'The Art of Transformation - What Leaders Can Learn from Parenting', offers fresh insights into modern leadership. Author Benjamin Kunkel, an entrepreneur and father, shares personal experiences that connect family life challenges to corporate leadership.
Kunkel argues that raising a child trains skills invaluable in the economy, such as patience, clear communication, emotional intelligence, and risk-taking. He believes that leadership development as a parent leads to more authentic leadership in one's profession.
The book underscores that transformation in leadership is not linear and requires adaptability and cultural development, especially in a dynamic economy. Kunkel suggests that leaders must strategically shape change while leading in a human way, with emotional strength and courage for self-reflection. Digitization and living values are key aspects of this transformation.
The book encourages leaders to embrace personal growth, empathy, and a willingness to let others grow. It demonstrates that change can begin with small, authentic steps, shaped consciously by medium-sized entrepreneurs. By learning from parenting, leaders can enhance their skills and drive effective transformation in their organizations.
