Keep up sharing with us. I do agree that mothers are leaders in their own right. I remember during my scholarship interview when the interviewer asked me about my mom’s job. Without hesitation, my answer to them ” domestic engineer ” lol

I certainly hope they value me. I value all that I have learned since
moving to one of the most diverse communities in America …. Miami.

I think that’s where the element of emotional intelligence comes into play. Both mothers and leaders need to be able to “read their audience” accurately and react accordingly. It’s great that you clearly show a sensitivity to this area. I’m sure those in your community value that in you.

However, we should be very cautious about comparing what leaders and managers do in a corporate setting to what mothers and fathers do in a home. Why cautious? Well, if it is true that our behavior is guided by deeply held values and beliefs, you have to ask the question does this model fit when your employees are racially and ethnically different from the leader/manager; or whose sexual orientation is different?

I am passionate about Parent Leadership – and what you have written totally is on the same wavelength. This is a model I do use in Executive Coaching where the metaphor of Parent Leadership is contextualized to the business world. Like you, my best teachers that I partner my leadership learning are my parents and my two children of the wise age of 8 and 10! Check out my website on Transformational Leadership Challenge – on just this topic!
