I find "believing that loving care and on-going conversation can get you much further than punishments and rewards" is the best trait that corresponds with leadership and a sound parenting philosophy. This deals with communication and we know that this is extremely important in a successful business and a strong family unit. These are very interesting parralel’s between the two.

As for the parenting books - I liked "The continuum concept", but have have mixed feelings about it - I think it idealises too much this way of thinking/doing. Wrote a bit about it at http://blog.mathemagenic.com/2007/06/08/parenting-traditional-wisdom-and-modern-life/ And, since we are at parenting books - the one that I would recommend any new (especially research-minded :) parent to read is "Our Babies, Ourselves: How Biology and Culture Shape the Way We Parent" by Meredith F. Small. John, thanks for comments and links!

I'm new to parenting with a 5th month old and really enjoyed reading the book "The Continuum Concept". And hope to take onboard what I learn about complexity from Snowden and apply it to parenting. Chris Corrigan has a couple of good posts about parenting and emergent learning conditions which parallels with leadership in organisations...which is really the concept of an enterprise 2.0 http://chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/?p=976 http://chriscorrigan.com/parkinglot/?p=898 I posted about the midwife role in our homebirth...actually my post was before the actual birth. During the birth the midwife hung back and allowed my wife and I to share the experience as much as we could, she would only intervene if really needed...she set the conditions so we felt enabled and empowered. Very contrasted with a hospital approach of control, one-size-fits-all.... http://libraryclips.blogsome.com/2009/05/05/birthing-and-midwives-stories-facilitation-and-decision-making/ Great post!

There are tons of parallels between the two although it seems that some people would be offended by saying that. This is a great point and something that I have thought about a lot.

Quite the challenging model for leadership! Lovely post — as a dad, I particularly like the point about taking others’ nightmares seriously, even when we know there’s nothing to be afraid of.
