Will a “New” Leadership Style of Engineers as Family Entrepreneurs Foster Stability and Peace in Germany?

The new style of leadership in medium-sized, family-run companies by family entrepreneurs of the new generation in Germany, esp. The Siegerland Region, often enough engineers themselves, is indeed in the Socratic tradition: visions that concern one’s own company and explaining the rules for the way there in a comprehensible way. Furthermore, establishing credibility, not least by setting an example of the rules, and leading by example. All this without forgetting the tried and tested principles of previous generations: Taking care of the employees and their families, keeping them all in mind and striving for monetary and non-monetary gains in equal measure. It is about a home-based sustainability of success beyond the day, about one’s own well-being, that of one’s own family as well as the families of the employees, and that of the region as well. By explaining not only the entrepreneurial vision but also one’s own leadership style, an integration achievement of employees with a migration background can succeed beyond the economic success of the company. For this leadership style is not only in the Socratic tradition, but also in part in the Persian tradition. It is possible that the re-establishment of this style will set an example for peaceful integration, sustainability and economic success beyond Central Europe. It is also likely to strengthen the resilience of the corresponding business location.
