 A Father's Legacy JOBWIRE For the Week of June 18, 2006 Published: June 18, 2006 By CJJ Staff Your father may have had a greater influence on your work behavior than you realize. So contends psychologist Stephan Poulter, author of The Father Factor. Poulter points out, for example, that children of the "time-bomb" father, who explodes in anger at his family, learn how to read people and their moods. Those abilities make them good as personnel managers or negotiators. These same workers, however, may have trouble feeling safe and developing trust. Children of absent fathers may become overachievers, being the person their father never was. Or they may develop anger toward supervisors, making self-employment the best option. Poulter concedes in his book that his relationship with his dad was not perfect, falling under the absentee category. "My dad won't even talk to me," he confesses.
