The First Mastery of the Family Leader

Leadership in Life Begin with Leadership at Home

"Twenty five years ago, I wish someone told me that the enduring meaning in my life would be found in shaping my children's values, not in my professional success" Rabbi Harold Kushner


Point Summary

1. Having a 'Family Vision Agreement' help us to be a better parent.
   
2. Focus on The Vital Few rather than the Mundane Many
3. Blaming others is merely a convenient way of excusing yourself and putting all the wrong in your life on the shoulder of other people without having the courage and face your weaknesses head on. Whenever we seek to avoid responsibility for our own behavior, we do so by attempting to give that responsibility to some other individual or organization or entity. But that means that we then give away our power to that entity.(M Scott Peck "the Road Less Traveled")
   
4. Speaking the truth from your heart rather than the words that we know the people around us want to hear.
5. After quality time, the second best gift we can gift to our kids is the gift of a good example.
6. Too many parent are giving responsibility of raising their own children to the programming directors of the national networks. It a crime to let your children spend hours on television and minutes with their parents.
7. Let lots of sunlight into our home, try and have quite family time- no TV no radio no video game running and never forget that the family that plays together is the family that stays together
8. While children take us parents as a role models, we also can learn a lot from the kids behavior.
9. Want to know more in more details, get the books.
