Author
Wilke has co-authored five books with his wife Rebecca, including The Leading Edge and Corporate Family Matters, their two highest selling books. The couple has also co-authored Dealing With Depression, Answers to Anxiety, Straight Lines for Parents, and the couple co-authored The Sacred Search: Couple’s Conversation Guide with Gary Thomas.
The Leading Edge
In The Leading Edge: 9 Strategies for Improving Internal and Intentional Leadership, the Wilkes share the skill sets that they contend leaders must strive to implement in their professional lives. The couple's contention is that schools teach the specific vocational skills needed for various businesses, but miss the most fundamental skills that all businesses need—i.e., relationship management and people skills. They argue that people in business, for the majority of the time, rely on people skills and teamwork, and that only a fraction of the time in business do they actually use their vocational skill sets.
Corporate Family Matters
The Wilkes' main objective in Corporate Family Matters: Creating and Developing Organizational Dynasties is to show how a corporation models a family system. As someone who studied extensively under Dr. Framo and his work with Family Systems, Steve Wilke, along with his wife and co-author Rebecca, offer an explanation for how corporations are very much like large families and therefore must be treated as such so that “familial dysfunctionality” doesn’t develop. Their thesis is that, because corporations spend the majority of their time talking and dealing with one another in a familial way, their success is in part due to managing relationships rather than just business aspects. This book represents the counselor's perspective into making the corporate world more efficient through relationship management.
