Hello Leaders,
Julie & I just wanted to send out a sincere Happy Father’s Day to all of the men out there.
As a father, you have a serious responsibility to be the leader of your family. In our community, we are all about instilling leadership values in the lives of our members in every way possible.
Fathers, use this day to make a new commitment that you are going to learn to be a better leader for your children. As fathers, we must give our children a direction to follow. Remember even if you children are 4 or 5 years old, you are leading them.
Children are very perceptive. They see you even when you don’t think they are watching.
Make sure that you are setting the best example possible. Take a minute to day to yourself, and make a list of how you want your children to be when they grow up. Then compare that list to you and how you are living today.
If you want your children to possess certain skills or characteristics in their lives, they need to see those things in you, today!
If there are differences between the list of how your want your children to be in the future and how you are living right now, then those are the CHANGES THAT YOU NEED TO MAKE, ASAP!
The do as I say not as I do mentality does not work. Think about this for a second. Do you remember a quirky annoying habit that your dad had. You use to always say that you would NEVER do that. Then that perverbial day comes when you find yourself doing the same things.
We all have things in our characters that we need to work on. Fathers of young children, you need to fix the flaws right now. Your kids are watching you. They will develop all of the traits that they see in you. Ask any early childhood educator or therapist, they will tell you the same thing.
If you truly want to be a leader, it must start with leading your children. Leading your children must start with leading yourself.
Use this father’s day to come to this realization, accept it and take your Leadership game to a higher level. Your children, your family, your life depends on it.
Have a great day, enjoy time with family & reflect on your leadership of your family today.
In Leadership,
Ken & Julie Dunn
