Leadership doesn't have to be complicated. Mothers have known this all along as they practice their own no-nonsense form of leadership.

In Manage Like a Mother, Valerie Cockerell shares common-sense principles for anyone seeking to be an effective leader. She explains how raising children, nurturing their development, multitasking as only a mother does, managing conflicts, dealing with teenagers, and being a great role model are some of the essential skills that leaders can easily apply to their professional working environmentsโ€”with proven success.

Business professionals don't need to look much further than their own childhood to know what works and what doesn't. In Manage Like a Mother, leaders will learn how applying mums' best practices can reap the best results for any organisation.
