The Business of Parenting

Using business tools to take your parenting to the next level.

I am a firm believer that a family is a team and just like a business team needs managing and treating as such. I think when we apply business tools to parenting the results are amazing.

I have taken on a new project which has me looking into Total Quality Management and as I was reading about it I began to wonder what if we took the principles and applied them to parenting?

So the principles of total quality management are:

1. customer-focused organisation

2. leadership

3. Involvement of the people

4. process approach

5. system approach to management

6. continual improvement

7. factual approach to decision making

8. mutually beneficial supplier relationships

So if we apply this to parenting what do we get?

1. A parenting approach that is child focused
2. A parent who leads rather than manages
3. A parenting approach that involves the children
4. A parenting system that uses process and systems to measure effectiveness not just gut judgement
5. A parenting approach that is always questioning itself and continuing changing and improving things
6. A parent who makes decisions on facts not feelings
7. A parenting approach that is mutually beneficial.

Now wouldn’t that be cool?

Oh and by the way successful TQM Companies tend to live by three core principles s

Trust, train and educate – all the time.
