Why Kids Help Women Become Better Executives

May 29, 2012 By Susan Shaner Leave a Comment

Well, this is refreshing!  Women shouldn’t have to hide the fact that we are parents at work or feel that it takes away from our effectiveness. I agree with Sheryl Sandberg that being a parent, particularly a mom, is an advantage and fosters a range of capabilities from which our employers and clients benefit. And I believe that work helps with organization at home. If you don’t have time, here are the cliff notes:

1. Sustainable perspective – future generations, etc.

2 Flexiblity – moms wear all hats so are master adapters.

3. More accepting of other’s challenges – raising kids is a great experiment in human development, imperfection has to be tolerated or we go insane.

4. Letting others grow – our kids figure life out despite us!

5. Relief – being a mom is the hardest job in the world – having a break can be great for both mom and child(ren).
