Parental workers

At Three Star Leadership, Wally Bock mentions a suspicion I have been pondering. It is not that parents are better leaders than those without children.

My take:
-parents are leading children all the time and leadership is a big deal to children
-parents understand the pressures of parents and many employees have children. I remember a teacher I had who at that time did not have children. Her requirements and expectations changed drastically after having a child.
-Fatherhood and Motherhood have many leadership characteristics, my suspicion is that there should be a study soon on this style of leadership. Read Covey, DePree, Wheatley, Buckingham and Coffman, etc. They mention relationships are key to leadership. Parental relationship is the building block of human relationships.
-More children, better leaders?
-Who will teach your children the ins and outs of relating to others?

Summed up: "Multiply and bear fruit."
