Leader’s focus more on: Vision Inspiring Persuasive Motivating Creating great Relationships Team work Listening Counseling Coaching Teaching Mentoring

I believe we can learn a lot about how to run a family from companies and this is a great example.  We parents need to be leaders.  This goes right in line with my belief that parents need to be like coaches (and cheerleaders!)  I see coaches as doing all of the things on the right.  Two of my favorite coaches are John Wooden and Tony Dungy. Coach John Wooden was named The Greatest Coach Ever by Sporting News and Coach of the Century by ESPN.   His autobiography, My Personal Best is one of my favorite books.  Tony Dungy's leadership style is admired by players and coaches throughout the NFL and can be found in his book: The Mentor Leader another one of my favorites.
