Leserstimmen
"The Phoenix Effect" by Katrin Oppermann-Jopp and Klaus Boog is a book I can wholeheartedly recommend to any entrepreneurial family and any consultant working with owner-managed companies. Rather than lingering on theoretical concepts, the book takes its readers into an authentic case story: a family business in crisis that realigns itself with the help of an external CEO and a clear shift in values.
This practical focus runs through all chapters, making central models of corporate culture—such as Maslow or Barrett—tangible and directly applicable. I was particularly impressed by the clear language, motivating tone, and numerous hands-on exercises. The book isn’t about abstract visions; it’s about concrete steps to credibly implement cultural change. The authors demonstrate that values don’t have to be mere slogans but can provide lived guidance—especially in times of crisis.

★★★★★ Practical, motivating, and relevant – a tool for entrepreneurial families in transformation
