As parents, our most important leadership role is at home. 

But sometimes it's easy to forget that. The rush to get everyone fed and where they need to be on time or the desire to spare our kids the pain of failure leads us to take leadership shortcuts. We take over, do things ourselves...in order to make sure it's done right and efficiently. In doing so, we limit our kids' abilities to develop into leaders themselves.

In today's conversation with former prosecutor turned parenting coach, Christy Keating, we discuss strategies for raising our kids to be the future leaders the world needs (and we have a bonus conversation about what Christy calls "extreme leadership": how to find what fulfills us in any job).
