If motherhood is the toughest and most rewarding job many women will have, it's also one to which they're least likely to bring their workplace skills.
Every day, women at work supervise, organize, and delegate authority. We create budgets, think creatively, put visions into practice, and work toward clearly defined goals. Yet when we go home and are faced with the needs and demands of managing a household and family, we seem to forget the strategies that worked for us so successfully during the workday.
In Mom, Inc., financial expert and working mother Neale Godfrey shows you how to incorporate effective business concepts and procedures into better home and family management. Just as women brought their emotional intelligence into the office, they can now take their work skills -- like outsourcing, delegating, and project management -- and put them to use at home. You can't fire the kids, but you can make them effective members of your household team.
Godfrey gives you all the tools you need, from creating a family mission statement to self-tests, quizzes, and worksheets to help you set priorities and goals. She shows you how to turn ongoing problems into manageable projects and provides effective communication techniques to defuse emotionally charged situations. And there are anecdotes, advice, and real-life solutions from women who have taken on the job of CEO in their own homes.
This innovative guide will show you how to approach the biggest job of all with the efficiency, skill, and confidence that you bring to your career.

At work, you can run through your "to do" list efficiently; at home, you struggle to find the time to make the grocery list. At work, you can organize and lead meetings with power and panache; at home, it's one battle after another before you can get the kids to get ready for school, sit down for dinner, or prepare for bed. As a working mother, you face this dilemma on a daily basis, not realizing that the career skills you use so effectively can be just as valuable when managing your home and family.
In MOM, INC., trusted financial expert and working mother Neale S. Godfrey explains how to turn practical business concepts and procedures into more effective methods of running a household. In a light-hearted, no-nonsense spirit, Godfrey offers simple and creative ways to help your kids become "team players":
-- Create a family mission statement
-- Turn perennial household issues, such as chores and mealtimes, into manageable projects that the whole family can work on
-- Use quizzes, self-tests, and worksheets to set realistic priorities and goals for each family member
-- Extend your professional time-management skills to after-school activities and family trips

Taking a fun and innovative approach to parenting, MOM, INC. shows that motherhood can be the most rewarding and successful job you'll ever have.
