Children Teaching Us Business Skills

POWER OF A CHILD
I recently observed an 8 year old boy explaining the rules of a new game he had received on his birthday.  He was explaining the rules to his family with great enthusiasm.  In the process, the child became more confident and was actually using communication and leadership skills.  Additionally, the child was forming a new bond with his family.  The family responded by acknowledging the skill and superior knowledge of the 8 year old which made the boy even more confident.

Is there a lesson for us as we interact with our family and staff members?

EXERCISE
I invite you to try this at home or at work.  Ask someone to show you a skill or technique that they have.  Then take time to express your delight and appreciation.  This is a win-win because both of you learn and you form a deeper bond.  Please share your success with someone.  And of course, share it with me.
