INTRODUCTION

Starting a New Conversation

by Daisy Dowling

W ere about to change the rules of the working-dad game. To get startedand given that you picked up this book in the first placeIm going to make a few guesses about who you are and what youre grappling with.

First, youre a smart, hardworking man who wants to get ahead. You spend a good percentage of your waking time either actually working or thinking about how to do well on the job. And youre ambitious: With all the sweat equity youre putting into your career, you want it to amount to something.

Maybe you admire the senior leaders in your organization and want to hold roles like theirs one day, but its hard to see yourself in them as a dad who wants to be involved in his kids daily lives. (Its almost as if some of them live in an alternate, kid-free universe; have they
