Top Picks- Here’s what you need to know about Leadership

I am Lina Ashar and I want to jointly explore the power of parenting with you. Join me on my journey to educate our children in unlocking their extraordinary human potential.

How to recognize leadership in every child: [Ted Talk] Yvonne explores what leadership is, and asks the questions: “Why do we wait to teach leadership?” “Is leadership something we can recognize and nurture in children too?”

Best Ways and Activities to Instil Leadership Qualities in Children: [FirstCry] A leader is a person to whom everyone looks up to. All of us come across different kinds of leaders in our walks of life; right from our very home to our workplace, from our surroundings to our country. On reading the biographies of great leaders, you might have noticed the various incidents in their childhood that shaped their attitude towards life.

Similarities Between Leadership And Parenting: [Forbes] It’s no secret that parenting is difficult. As a combat veteran, I’ve even sometimes wondered which is harder; war or raising children? So is managing a team just as hard? Granted, children need more attention and supervision than adults (most of the time), but the similarities between managing and parenting are interesting. Management isn’t for everyone, just like being a parent doesn’t suit us all.

Bringing the science of leadership to the art of parenting: [Penn Today] 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, according to Wharton professor Stew Friedman and co-author Alyssa Westring. They say it is possible for parents to harness the powerful science of leadership in order to thrive in all aspects of their lives.

What Parents Can Learn about Leadership: [The Wharton School] One of the toughest jobs in the world is being a parent. It’s a leadership role that calls for the sharp negotiating skills of a chief executive, the flexibility of a scheduling secretary, the nonstop labor of employees on the floor, and even the maintenance expertise of the custodial staff. A new book by Wharton emeritus management professor Stewart Friedman and Alyssa Westring, management professor at DePaul University, explains how parents can harness the power of leadership principles to thrive in the four major domains of their lives — career, family, community and self.
