Zusammenhalt der Unternehmerfamilie: Verträge, Vermögensmanagement, Kommunikation
by Hermut KormannBietet wertvolle Unterstützung rund um alle Fragen des familiären Zusammenhalts in Familienunternehmen.<P><P> Legt verständlich und profund dar, wie Gesellschafter die Aufgabe meistern können, eine Familie und ihr Unternehmen mit gegenseitigem Respekt erfolgreich fortzuführen.<P> Zeigt Wege auf, wie alle Beteiligten in einen fairen Prozess eingebunden werden können, tragfähige Bindungen der Gesellschafter im Familienunternehmen entstehen und über die Generationen gepflegt werden.<P> „Firma vor Familie“ – dieser klassische Grundsatz wird auch heute noch gerne zitiert, um jungen Familiengesellschaftern die anspruchsvolle Aufgabe ihrer Inhaberverantwortung deutlich zu machen. Allerdings ist die Beziehung zwischen Familie und Firma nicht in erster Linie durch eine Konkurrenz gekennzeichnet, sondern durch eine nachhaltige gegenseitige Bereicherung: Der Rückgriff auf familiäre Ressourcen ermöglicht dem Familienunternehmen einen besonderen Erfolg. Umgekehrt bietet dieses seinen Gesellschaftern einen vielfältigen Nutzen. Damit eine enge und konfliktresistente Bindung entstehen kann, müssen die Bindungsfaktoren – speziell in reifen Mehrgenerationen-Gesellschaften – bewusst gestaltet werden: durch die Pflege einer verantwortungsvollen und Identität stiftenden Familienkultur, durch faire vertragliche Regelungen und durch eine auf Offenheit und Respekt angelegte Kommunikationsarchitektur. In dieser gezielten Stärkung des familiären Zusammenhalts sieht der hier vorgestellte Ansatz in der 2. aktualisierten Auflage zugleich den Schlüssel zur Bewältigung möglicher Konflikte.

Zoom Rooms: Poems
by Mary Jo SalterThe timeless and timely intersect in poems about our unique historical moment, from the prizewinning poet.In Zoom Rooms, Mary Jo Salter considers the strangeness of our recent existence, together with the enduring constants in our lives. The title poem, a series of sonnet-sized Zoom meetings—a classroom, a memorial service, an encounter with a new baby in the family—finds humor and pathos in our age of social distancing and technology-induced proximity. Salter shows too how imagination collapses time and space: in &“Island Diaries,&” the pragmatist Robinson Crusoe meets on the beach a shipwrecked dreamer from an earlier century, Shakespeare&’s Prospero. Poems that meditate on objects—a silk blouse, a hot water bottle—address the human need to heal and console. Our paradoxically solitary but communal experiences find expression, too, in poems about art, from a Walker Evans photograph to a gilded Giotto altarpiece. In these beautiful new poems, Salter directs us to moments we may otherwise miss, reminding us that alertness is itself a form of gratitude.

But Claudette is in no hurry to leave August's side. And when he decides to go to Croissant City in search of the elusive Zombie Stone, Claudette joins him. It's a good thing she does, because no sooner had August set out than a mysterious white alligator began to follow him. Reptiles aren't the only creatures to look out for, though. When August is reunited with his dour cousins the Malveaus, and their menacing mother, Orchid, finding the stone before they do takes on a new urgency. Throw in a swamp doctor, a costume parade, a pop star, a séance, a band of smugglers, and four new zombies, and you'd better believe that August's quest is only going to get more complicated.

(By using specific types of praise and criticism.)What will boost my child's success in school? (Play that requires self-control, like make-believe.) My baby loves videos and cell-phone games. That's cool, right? (If you play, too.) What tamps down temper tantrums? (Naming emotions out loud.) My sweet baby just hit a playmate / lied to me about un-potting the plant / talked back. Now what? (Choose one of three logical consequences.) How do I get through an entire day of this? (With help. Lots of help.) Who knew babies were so funny? (They are!)
