Being a parent!!!
Nobody thinks this way, but really, let's agree that having a child can show how you will perform as a leader and provide a foundation to significantly improve your soft skills that can be transferable to your workplace.
What is your leadership method?
- Soft parenting
- Harsh parenting
- Micromanagement and overprotection
Can you negotiate with the team?
- "Look, it's not a spoon, but a plane. Let's eat it."
- "If you do it, I will give you candy."
- "No cleaning, no cartoons."
- "I said you must do it."
- If you eat this porridge, you will beat Maggie in skipping rope."
Can you be persistent and achieve your goal?
- "Please put on your shoes; we need to go."
- "Please put on your shoes; we need to go" x 2
- "Please put on your shoes; we need to go" x 3
- "Please put on your shoes; we need to go" x 4
Can you actively listen to what other people tell you?
- Children's monologues are often not connected.
- Are you ready to have compassion for Pikachu, who lost his battle?
- Can you dig and find the actual reason why your child doesn't want to go to school today?
Follow your vision to stay on long-term goals, even with short-term challenges:
- "You haven't given me the 10th candy, so you are the worst dad in the world."
- "I want to watch TV all day."
- "Buy this toy, and this, and that one."
