Good leaders don’t build an empire on the backs of their children. They recognize that their responsibility to family must come before their commitments to a vocation, or even a desire to succeed. Leaders understand that the happiness of their home directly influences the happiness of their work. So they make the time and effort to contribute to that happiness. Leaders take time to communicate with their spouses. They don’t leave their listening ears at the job. They share their dreams, update their spouses on their organizational plans, and seek their spouses advice. They treat their spouses better than their most trusted associates. Leaders are available for their children. They know when to leave the job and head for the ballpark. They know how to push the pause button on their plans and productivity. Leaders give more than passing attention to birthdays, and report cards. They don’t send representatives to the school play. Leaders make sure that of all the people who compete for their attention, their families get first priority. Leaders guard the home base.
