It's amazing how often Mom’s advice fits right into the business world. Leadership Lessons from Mom was written to encapsulate just some of the many leadership lessons learned from our mothers so you can use them to be successful in business and life.

These 21 valuable lessons will help you know just what to say and how you should handle virtually any situation. They are timeless, universal and can be easily applied to your everyday work life. For example:

• eating your vegetables (taking care of your health)

• tucking in your shirt (paying attention to your image in the workplace)

• don’t be late for dinner (getting to work on time, keeping appointments, meeting deadlines)

• be polite (showing common courtesy to others)

• mind your manners (following the culture and customs of your organization)
• watch your mouth (avoiding the use of foul language)

Each lesson is covered in a separate section and includes an inspirational summary statement and leadership tips, such as:

• serve as a mediator between employees having conflicts with one another

• floor areas should not be used to store books, papers and notebooks

• help employees learn to make the best use of their time through time management tools and training resources

• encourage employees to find better ways to perform their jobs
