As managers and as mothers, the important thing is what happens when we are not there.

Of course that doesn’t mean we can drop out of the scene right now and forever. There is much molding and shaping and teaching and coaching to be done.  All because of the days when we won’t be there to do it.

But – so many managers are scared to leave. Scared of what will happen if they do.   They hover and fret and micro-manage. Things don’t go right and so they hover and fret and micro-manage some more. How could they possibly leave? Even for a second.

This week, in celebration and preparation for Mother’s Day, we’ll focus on lessons from Mom…ways to be better managers so that we get better results…when we’re there and when we aren’t.  Ways that involve teaching and coaching and molding and shaping, instead of hovering and fretting and micro-managing.  All for improved productivity, morale and overall results.
