How working parents can lead more purposeful lives, characterized by harmony, connection, and impact.
Parents in today's fast-paced, disorienting world can easily lose track of who they are and what really matters most. But it doesn't have to be this way. As a parent, you can harness the powerful science of leadership in order to thrive in all aspects of your life.
Drawing on the principles of his book Total Leadership--a bestseller and popular leadership development program used in organizations worldwide--and on their experience as researchers, educators, consultants, coaches, and parents, Stew Friedman and coauthor Alyssa Westring offer a robust, proven method that will help you gain a greater sense of purpose and control. It includes tools illustrated with compelling examples from the lives of real working parents that show you how to:
<ul>
<li>Design a future based on your core values</li>
<li>Engage with your children in fresh, meaningful ways</li>
<li>Cultivate a community of caregiving and support, in all parts of your life</li>
<li>Experiment to discover better ways to live and work</li>
</ul>
Powerful, practical, and indispensable, Parents Who Lead is the guide you need to forge a better future, foster meaningful and mutually rewarding relationships, and design sustainable solutions for creating a richer life for yourself, your children, and your world.
