A good corporate leader-no matter the size of the enterprise-knows how to keep a firm hand on the helm, motivate the people below her, empower them while remaining empowered herself, and keep control of the company and the people who work there. She must use available tools, such as a mission statement, time management techniques, delegation skills, and her own benefits package, to define her goals in raising kids, regardless of experience level or background. Seminars, books, consultants, and multimedia programs that develop business and leadership skills and encourage employee motivation have become a multimillion-dollar business. But where do most successful leaders and managers get their crucial first start? From their families. And though these are numerous resources available to parents in terms of children's health and development, little is directed to building the skills and strategies of mothers who are the most important leaders of all.

Review:

A wonderful parenting resource for all mothers who want to improve their parenting skills and at the same time motivate their children to become responsible, contributing members to the household. Highly recommended!--Colleen Alexander-Roberts, Author of "The ADHD Parenting Handbook and ADHD and Teens" "MacGregor uses lively examples and straight talk to show how time management, mission statements, delegation skills, goal definition, and other techniques can be easily implemented in parenting..."--Nancy Sundstrom "ForeWord Reviews "

About the Author:

Cynthia MacGregor has 46 published books to her credit and still more scheduled for forthcoming publication. Though she writes on many subjects, the preponderance of her books have been for either parents or kids. Unafraid to tackle tough subjects, she's helped kids deal with parental divorce in The Divorce Helpbook for Kids and its forthcoming follow-up, The Divorce Helpbook for Teens. She's helped parents tackle the bedtime issue with Night-Night, the follow-up to which was The Naptime Book. Her Abduction Prevention series of six books helps keep kids safe, while her 'lap books' for little ones deal with such difficult issues for kids as Why Do We Have to Move?, Why Do People Die?, and Why Do We Need Another Baby? In 2005, she will have a book published on stepfamilies (working title: Jigsaw Puzzle Family). Parents interested in developing their kids' creativity were quick to buy Cynthia's Raising a Creative Child, and her activity books include 365 After-School Activities as well as many others. What Do You Know About Manners? takes a humorous approach in 'civilizing' kids, while Thanks, Aunt Zelda teaches them how to write thank-you notes. And these are only some of Cynthia's books! An accomplished public speaker, who also gives public speaking classes for adults, Cynthia teaches creative writing courses to adults in addition. She also gets the word out about her books via her weekly EZine, EZine Does It, an eclectic mix of features in which there's always news about her most recently published or most timely or seasonally appropriate books.Cynthia MacGregor has 46 published books to her credit and still more scheduled for forthcoming publication.
