Abstract

I have just gone quite far out on the limb, promising you that you will be a successful leader, if only you consider the recommendations put forward in this chapter. And at the same time I claimed, somewhat provokingly, that to “creatively” deviate from these aspects substantially would clearly jeopardise your leadership position.

A man who has nothing in which he is ahead of another is not a leader.

Zhuang Zhou, Philosopher

Notes

  1. 1.

    The issue of similarities and differences between professional athletes and managers is the subject of a discussion with a medical specialist. The interview with Dr. Peter May (MVZ Dr. May and Dr. Fehring, Bonn) can be found in the appendix.

  2. 2.

    The importance of this aspect was made evident to me in meeting with Günter Reichart (currently board member at EWR AG, Worms). You can find the interview I conducted with him in appendix.
