Amazon.com description: Product Description:

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.
