Parenting & Leadership

As a parent, I try to provide experiences that give my son the opportunity to develop skills he probably won’t learn at Pre School. Our family project during the pandemic was called “Bus Ruby” - a 40-ft school bus we converted to a camper.

He wasn’t even 4, but Logan knows how to use a hammer, pliers, a socket wrench, and a paint brush. More importantly, he’s learning to problem solve, express his creativity, give and receive feedback, and ask for help. The parallels to leadership are clear.

What experiences can you give your teams to inspire creativity and learn new skills? If your employees are anything like Logan, they’ll jump at the chance to do something outside the norm, and they’ll be grateful for your focus on their growth.
