21. Parenting with an Outward Mindset: Collapse the Trappings of "Big-Shotness" in Your Home

This past week I finished reading "The Outward Mindset," a book published by the Arbinger Institute.Although this book is written primarily for leaders of business organizations, the principles it teaches are totally applicable to parents. Which makes sense, because parents are organizational leaders—the organization just happens to be called a family, and the people being led just happen to be small humans called children.I love the mindsets taught in this book so much that I had to dedicate a whole episode to it. Join me as I discuss what it means to parent with an outward mindset. We'll also examine the "trappings" of parenthood that unintentionally disconnect us from our children.Resources Mentioned:The Arbinger InstituteThe Outward Mindset by the Arbinger InstituteBonds that Make Us Free by Terry WarnerLeading Outward Podcast: Apple & SpotifyScripture References:Luke 2:7Matthew 4:9–10John 6:15Mark 2:16–17Matthew 21:5Matthew 20:25–28Mosiah 3:5–7Mosiah 2:10–14
