¿Der Auszeiter. Vom Management ins Leben ¿ und zurück¿ erzählt die Geschichte eines Managers, der sich diesen Wunsch erfüllt hat: Aussteigen, um wieder Einzusteigen!
Ohne Wenn und Aber hat er sich für eine zweijährige Auszeit entschieden und diese Zeit genutzt, über sein Leben, seine Prioritäten und insbesondere über den Preis seiner ausgeprägten Karriere-Fixierung nachzudenken. Während dieser Zeit schenkte er sich eine 20-monatige Weltreise durch Länder wie Indien, Nepal, Bangladesch, China, Mongolei, Mexiko, Guatemala, Nicaragua oder Kolumbien und entdeckte durch die vielfältigen Begegnungen mit fremden Kulturen und Menschen neue Werte im Leben.
Um bewegende Erfahrungen reicher, kehrte Carsten Alex neu motiviert ins Management der DaimlerChrysler AG zurück. Im Reisegepäck: ein deutlich veränderter Blickwinkel und sehr konkrete Vorstellungen davon, was künftig wirklich erforderlich ist, um glücklich zu sein. Sie erfahren in diesem Buch, welche neuen Perspektiven sich während einer Auszeit eröffnen können und erhalten Antworten auf Fragen, die Sie sich wahrscheinlich schon lange nicht mehr gestellt haben. Eine Herausforderung der besonderen Art: Für den Manager und den Auszeiter!

Book ProposalThe Daredevil: Taking time out from management - a journey of transformation is my personal story. I was a successful manager at the DaimlerChrysler Corporation but had hardly any free time. Not even time for proper wedding celebrations not to mention a honeymoon. For years I was caught in the corporate treadmill. But soon I realized that things could not continue in that way. I needed to take time out. The desire to take a sabbatical grew ever so strong to the point that I could do nothing but follow through - and what an awakening that was. Suddenly I was in India and Bangladesh, China, Nepal, Australia, Guatemala and Colombia far away from luxury cars and consumer goods but close to real life. I experienced for the first time real joy outside the western life comforts. Without asking why or how, I took a two-year break and used that time to analyze my life and priorities. Most of all I re-evaluated the fixation I had on my career and the high price I had to pay for it. Enriched by the experience of travel and newly motivated, I returned to my job as a manager at the DaimlerChrysler Corporation. My backpack was filled with a changed attitude on life and work and with concretely formed ideas what it takes to be truly happy. In this book I recount how new perspectives opened up during my sabbatical and how I slowly transformed, taught as I was by people who had hardly any material possession but who possessed so much of the human spirit. I take the reader along some important stretches of my world travel and into my adventures. I recount moments where I discovered the greater human potential, which we all have. I will answer question along the way ... with the hope that the reader may ponder his or her own time out so as to expand. This book, I believe, is a challenging yet delightful read for the manager and the secret daredevil who may just ponder his or her own get away. And for all those who yearn to take a break and wish to grow. I wouldgreatly appreciate if you would consider my book for publication. Thank you for your attention.Best Regards.Sincerely,Carsten Alex
