"The Father Factor" Affects Your Job New York, NY (AHN) - According to Stephan Poulter, a psychologist, careers of employees in the workplace can be related with the kind of fatherhood they received during their childhood. In his book "The Father Factor," Stephan lists five styles of fathers - super-achieving, time bomb, passive, absent and compassionate/mentor.
Styles of fathering can affect whether their children get along with others at work, have an entrepreneurial spirit, worry too much about their career, burn out or become the boss, Poulter writes. According to him, children of the "time-bomb" father, for example, who explodes in anger at his family, learn how to read people and their moods and thus they become good at jobs such as personnel managers or negotiators. But at the same time those children may have trouble feeling safe and developing trust, said Poulter, a clinical psychologist who also works with adolescents in Los Angeles area schools. "The Father Factor" is set for release next month by Prometheus Books
