About this title

From the Inside Flap

Today, cross-training is standard fare for every athlete, professional or amateur--living in one world but staying in shape for the other. That's what dads have to do to be successful at home and in business.--From the bookTwenty years ago, as a young executive, Robert Wolgemuth discovered how work and home could become "graduate schools" for each other. This is the message of Daddy@Work: a successful man transfers skills in one sphere to the other, thereby improving them both.No matter what your occupation, if the commute between home and business feels more like shuttling between two distant planets, this wise and practical book can help you realign the balance between the competition of the workplace and nurturing the family at home.Robert Wolgemuth says, "Dads spend a lifetime in cross training, and for us dads, the benefits flow both ways. Things we learn in business can be applied at home. And techniques that work at home, with kids, also work in the office, on the job site, in the factory and retail store."Daddy@Work is filled with stories that show how this can happen.Don't let your life dwindle into business as usual--just another day at the office and then home from the daily grind. Instead, integrate both sides of your life and discover new freedom and joy with your family and with your colleagues. Why settle for less when with a little applied wisdom you can enjoy the rewards of being a success as both a father and a businessman?Being a success in business is a tough job. And being a successful dad is just as difficult. Putting the demands of these two together and trying to be good at both can be overwhelming. This book is going to help you take these two lives of yours--work and home--and pull them together. Come along and join in this incredible adventure.
