Leadership Begins at Home


I was on my way to a meeting and saw a billboard that caught my eye. It worlds: What are you teaching your children? The big idea? Leadership really does begin at home.

What are we teaching our children by the lives we are leading and examples we are setting? I believe that the best way to influence your kids is to be true to yourself and to lead the best life that you can, so that they will adopt the same values, though their path may be different. What message are you sending to those little leaders who watch your every move and model your every act? Are you showing them what’s possible by being remarkable in each of your pursuits? Or are your teaching them to play small by resigning yourself to average?

The fruit never falls far from the tree, and your children will become a lot more like you than you may believe. You can help your kids get to their greatness. It starts with you leading the way.

“The fruit never falls far from the tree, and your children will become a lot more like you than you may believe”
