Why Leadership Matters In Motherhood and Business
As a former military spouse, I am always surprised by how much a conversation around leadership is lacking in most civilian businesses across all levels. Leadership is essential to all levels and skill sets. We often don’t think about how many leadership skills we develop as mothers and how that transfers to becoming leaders in the organizations we run or are a part of as employees. Here are five ways leadership is important in motherhood and business.
