Getting Philosophical
My son turned 7 this week and it got me to thinking about parenthood.
It seems that we don't raise our children to be like us, but rather ... we raise them to be like the people we WANT to be.
If it also follows that the most influential teaching is to teach by example ... then the act of parenting, by it's very nature, should make each of us more like the people we strive to be.
I would think that this same philosophy applies to management.
No matter your management style, your staff will learn and are are motivated by example. Does the sheer act of being a manager make you a better employee?
Should it?
Take care,Eric
