Liquid Legal Acknowledgments
First and foremost I would like to thank you, my teammates at SAP. Fighting the “urgent” distracts many people from the “important”—that's why I shared my “Q2 goals,” the top 5 personal priorities with you.
I wrote: “transformation cannot be imposed from the outside, it has to come from us: we have to find new ways to operate, to engage with people, to organize ourselves, to get the work done....” And you delivered! You have pushed forward the transformation; we will come out stronger. Your dedication, creativity, and endurance really make the difference. I'm honored to lead such an amazing team!Many thanks as well to my wife Eva for having my back and to my kids Elli and Justus for giving me the extra space for finishing this book project!
Kai
Moving into the unknown requires creativity, trust, and a lot of work. I am humbled and grateful to my team members—in Europe and the USA—for giving me plenty of all three. Without them, I would have had no story to tell.
My team knows how much inspiration I take from my “coach”—I quote her very often. I believe that kids can see through things, and that is what my 12-year-old Emily Joy does for me, often triggering new thoughts and always a smile!
Last but not least I want to thank my wife Christina, my soul mate, in daring to question anything in order to see, if it can be made a little bit better for the benefit of all.
Dierk
I want to thank my lawyer friends Thorsten, Thomas, and Stefan who, from different angles, introduced me to the world of legal. Also, many thanks to my coeditors Kai and Dierk who turned this book project into a fascinating collaboration which was as educational as it was fun!
