There is an unlikely source that can help us to improve our skills - Business. Did you realize that businesses world-wide spend over $300 billion dollars a year to training their employees? Much of that training is in soft-skills. Teamwork, leadership, active listening, communication, conflict resolution, ethics, time management, planning, problem solving, strategy, goal setting and achievement, process design, emotional intelligence, coaching, mentoring, change management, user experience, design thinking, persuasion, and the list of soft-skills goes on and on. Why not take advantage of the training, tools, and methods that have been developed by business and apply them to your parenting, and teach them to your children? These soft-skills can give them a competitive edge in life. Parenting the Lean Way is all about providing additional tools in your parenting toolbox that will make you wonder how you ever got along without them.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jared E.
