Parents Deserve Their Children
| Why would I include such a statement in a book whose purpose is fundamentally meant to challenge business leaders? Because the statement, "Parents deserve their children" illustrates a failure or success in leadership that translates directly to the business world.
Don't you love to hear, "Where could she (or he) possibly have learned that? I am so embarrassed." The behaviors you see in your children were learned from or tolerated by you.
How does a parent contribute to their children's poor behavior? The parent fails to communicate unambiguously or clarify their expectations with their children. They at least occasionally and often repeatedly tolerate poor behavior. What message does a child receive when the Parent lets them get away with not delivering what is requested? The Management team (Mom and Dad) don't agree on the objectives and send mixed messages. The Parent has very poor or inconsistent follow through.
Are you beginning to get the picture?
Your children are a reflection of your leadership in the home and goodness knows you deserve what you create! It is true, both businesses and children thrive when their leaders clarify expectations, create processes where success is possible and reward good (and not poor) performance. |
