Leadership and Parenting

Leadership and Parenting

I know you are finding it awkward and strange that I am putting leadership and parenting together.

When we hear leadership, we get the picture of some famous and strong personalities with extraordinary qualities. On the other hand, parenting is like customary, a more or less everyone is doing it. Something very soft, fragile where normal human traits patience, nurturing, upbringing etc are required.

Characteristics of these two activities seem to be pole apart however guiding principles are very just similitude. We have no doubt about it “Leaders can be good parents and parents can lead”. Let me explain you how.

Leadership means to inspire and influence people by motivating them likewise parenting requires influencing and inspiring child by setting right examples.

Leaders has to be strong, but not rude; kind, but not weak; be bold, but not arrogant. Same way parents need to be firm and polite but not weak and sentimental. Parents need to put lots of energy and patience and always reflect on brighter side

Parents naturally put leadership skills into practice all the time, in trying to motivate children to do any given task at home or at school, for example, or to help them overcome fears of trying something new. But they tend not to think of their roles in these terms, partly because they’ve not been shown how to lead as a parent. But we’ve found that leadership skills, when used wisely enhance parenting.

leading people is challenging however it is similar to parenting as leader needs to guide, teach, encourage, discipline, compliment and provide the atmosphere needed for their team to be successful. They always need to pamper their team as family.

Parents can lead and leaders can be parents. In fact, together they are creating more balance in life.

This pandemic is giving us good time to think, rethink and redefine leadership and parenting and set new family goals and leadership goals as well, by using science of Leadership and art of parenting.
