Exerting a Healthy Dose of Leadership in the Family

This article about: advice, children, family, internet, leadership, management, media

The family is a sacred institution that will be with humanity forever. The bonds between family members are so strong that they enable our society to catapult itself to new highs.

Familes provide the much needed emotional, financial and practical support to enable the young members of a generation to become well-rounded adults with a keen sense of responsibility and a sound knowledge of the world that will allow them to also become skilled parents.

The cycle will always repeat, but some families are stronger than others, and there’s no doubt about that. A quite glimpse across a supermarket, school open evening or a trip to the park can expose the vast differences between parenting styles in families right across the country.

One element of parenting that seperates the great parents from the not-so-great is the promotion of the concept of ‘leadership’ in the family as a core value. Leadership in the sense I am talking about, is not simply the position of power in an organisation, moreover it is the power to create followers in many areas of life; culturally, morally or indeed organisationally. In this sense, even a shy individual working in a junior position in a company can still exert leadership. They can do this by standing true to their own values, by promoting good practise to their collegues, or perhaps by leading by example on a particularly tricky period of change in the company. None of these events require an individual to be a confident, extrovertial and loud ‘leader’ type.

So how can you go about enstilling this value within your family as a parent?

One option is to regularly reinforce the child’s belief and confidence in their own feelings. While many parents use the similar technique of reaffirming *their own* beliefs into their children, I recommend simply encouraging the child to support and firmly back their own beliefs, whatever those may be.

The world is changing at an accelerating pace, and what you teach your chil now, may simply not even be relevent by the time their graduate from college. That is why I suggest that rather than focusing on a rule based personal learning journey for your child, you simply give them the strength of character to stand up for what they believe in, as this element of leadership will always pay dividends for the child as they pass through life, whatever may happen.

Reinforcing a child’s confidence in their own values can be extremely difficult in todays age, whereby the messages that a child receives from their parents is vastly outweighed by the sheer volume of messages that inundate the child from TV, the internet, their peers and other media. While some parents decide to homeschool their children and exert strict control over viewable media in attempt to increase their own influence – I would instead recommend that you indeed control what you child watches on TV, listens to in music, and browses on the internet, but in turn, allow your child to attend a public school – lest your child fail to learn some of the important lessons of the modern generation that you may never have experienced yourself.

I hope you have great success in implementing these leadership techniques.
