How can servant leadership improve one's parenting?

I felt completely powerless. I was directing my daughter, Meghan, on cleaning her room. She had just had a sleepover the night before. We thought we had given her everything she asked for. Now, all we wanted was for her to clean up after that night. She boldly said, "No." It took a few hours for her just to calm down and be in a place where I could help her clean the room and move on. Until this point came, she was grounded to her room. She kept trying to escape. I sat in the hallway for all of those three hours making sure she did not bolt.

Later on, once Meghan had calmed down, I decided to employ principles of servant leadership. I was growing my knowledge of this fascinating model of leading this weekend for my own professional development, and I saw this brilliant opportunity to immediately benefit from this view on leaders. The idea behind servant leadership, fundamentally, is to listen.   

I am grateful, as I write this post, to have had a lifetime curiosity for developing new hobbies. I have so many hobbies now that I can encourage my children to explore. The courage to try new hobbies, to investigate new process and principles, is something I am incredibly grateful for.
