LEAD YOUR FAMILY; ONLY THE BRAVE DO

LEAD YOUR FAMILY; ONLY THE BRAVE DO

Leadership is a social role. The family is a social unit. For anything to be organized in whole, it must be so in part. Parts work on purpose to keep the body alive. The family keeps society alive. Where the whole is not working, parts are missing.

What is leadership in the family? Well, like every business, a family has leaders. And following. It has roles and jobs. It has souls and hopes. It has people and should have purpose. A business is a going concern; a family is a growing concern. This means that leaders need a higher level of insight to run a family than a business. Business can be low, but a family must grow. Business debates money, but a family must have a meal. Where business looks for a plan, a family must act now.

Leadership in the family demands time and attention. It is far more complex and detailed than any job as a CEO. Some run from it. Some assume it. Some need it, but don't know how to do it. Think of all the things you do well for you company and then do them, as a minimum, for your family. If you do them, you will raise up society as a whole.
