This is a day late ya’ll, I’m sorry about that. Work has been absolutely CRAYYYYY. This summer I was in charge of a high school summer camp and it was seriously the best parent training EVERR. Teens look like almost adults but their understanding of the world and their common sense has not developed fully.
Anyway… something that I realized this year as I was thinking about my next career steps was…even if I have no experience managing non-student staff at work… I am for SURE going to know how to be a good manager, boss lady, boss bitch…ya get what I mean…
why?
Because I am a mom. I am a mom of one and I think this. So moms of multiple children… you guys are CEOs of the world and your home.
I am going to be a great manager because I know to manage conflicts, prepare and train a human to do something, critique/teach her how to be better without hurting her feelings, motivate someone to something that they either don’t want to do or don’t have the skills to do quite yet, make sure morale is always high, manage my little one to be professional (aka good manners, good habits, responsibilities, meet deadlines, etc) … i mean the list goes on and on and on right??
I very strongly feel that you are only as good as your team. So if you have a bad team, you’re a bad boss. what mom would ignore their child’s learning disability or physical handicap or unhappiness right?? If you have someone struggling in your team and you ignore it or don’t address it… you’re a bad boss. get all the parallels here?
Anyway, this was something I was mulling over a lot in my head while I commute to work… lol Does anyone else mentally prepare interview questions (when there is no interview) in their head? no? just me? =T
SOoOoo in conclusion… all moms, whether they work or not, are bad ass CEOs of their families and homes. they multi-task, constantly prepare and think about the future of their “company” and manage/train/motivate their humans to be the very best they can be. =)
now, where is my 50% raise and my annual bonus? am i right??
(i promise to have a legit mommy monday post up next week. this has been a VERY long summer so far and i’m getting super burnt out. i have so much on my plate and so much to juggle that i desperately wish i could make one very big change. sigh. but we can’t afford to do that right now soooo… playa play onnnn)
