Leaders Are Like Parents

Leadership is like parenting, in so many ways. 

You have to lead by example, same as parenting.

You need to listen to understand, not to judge or respond, same as parenting.

You need to create empathy and connection, not just giving orders and commands, same as parenting.

You are responsible for the wellbeing of people under your care, same as parenting.

You help them learn and grow and reach beyond their potential, same as parenting.

Does that mean good leaders are good parents, and via versa?
