Baumgartner:Oma wär ein verdammt guter

Learning from the best means learning from Grandma. Almost daily, leaders receive well-meaning tips on how to motivate their employees and retain them within the company. Tips that, if we're honest, don't really advance us in our jobs. Instead, let's listen to those who always had advice during turbulent times: our grandmothers. With life wisdom such as "Do not do unto others what you do not want done to yourself" or "After rain comes sunshine," they consistently imparted the timeless significance of virtues like appreciation and optimism. Grandma would make a damn good CEO. This book presents itself as a unique business guide based on this premise. No condescending finger-wagging, no sermons from the pulpit – rather, the authors revive 10 old sayings, proverbs, and virtues from our grandmothers and connect them in a refreshingly entertaining way with modern management and leadership concepts. How we can lead in the business world in a more positive, human, and ultimately successful manner. Grandma knows best – and soon we will too.
