In 'Homo Faber: A Report', Max Frisch tells the story of Walter Faber, a 50-year-old engineer who works for UNESCO. Faber's life is marked by his strict adherence to logic, probability, and technology. However, his world is turned upside down when he encounters a series of unlikely coincidences that lead him to fall in love with a young woman named Sabeth, who is revealed to be his daughter. The novel explores themes of fate versus coincidence, the clash between technological society and human emotions, and the inevitability of tragedy. Through Faber's journey, Frisch critiques the modern world's reliance on technology and highlights the importance of human connections and emotions[1][2][3].

About Florim Cuculi:
Florim Cuculi is a Swiss cardiologist and chief of the cardiology department at Luzerner Kantonsspital. He was born in the Republic of North Macedonia in 1976 and moved to Switzerland when he was 14. He initially had a difficult time in Switzerland, having no friends and speaking no German, but eventually worked his way to fluency and was moved from Realschule to Sekundarschule by an observant teacher, who realized his potential.
In 2019 Florim established the Cardio Center Luzern, a new cardiology practice in the city center of Lucerne. He is also active on social media, where he often gives health advice.
During his chat with Silvan, he discussed his rules for good leadership:
Fairness: value the people who work harder and achieve better results;
Humility: realize that you are not perfect, and be willing to listen to criticism (which is only possible if you have cultivated the kind of psychological safety that naturally allows your underlings to speak up);
Understanding: be willing to support and go easy on team members who are experiencing personal crises;
Know that there is no golden rule. Often you’ll have to rely on your intuition.
