HOW TO RAISE LEADERS

PARENTING LEADERS

Parenting leaders is a full time job. Schools give your kids a certificate. A certificate may get them a job, but talent will get them enterprise. Schools can teach them right and wrong, but only you can teach them how to use the right and left part of the brain. School can teach them many things. But only you can teach them values and leadership by example.

To raise leaders is to mentor them, walk with them and talk with them. Leadership is a function of parenting. What you see in public is what parenting is doing in private. The public is a mirror of the inside of homes run by (absent) parents.

If you are interested in what you can do, the above paragraphs give you a clue. First, you need a good plan of action. This is not hard to do because the curriculum depends on you. You cannot teach what you don't do. All you have to do is to be; so that your kids can model after you. Parenting is more what you do than what you do for your kids. It is easy for a thief to raise a thief, because he is a thief. If you want to raise leaders, be a leader. Improve yourself then, be yourself. And that is all you have to do.
