Fathers can have a big influence on their daughters, on how they live and how they lead. Female leaders share what their own dads taught them about leadership and life.
. We asked female leaders from our community to share what their own dads taught them about leadership and life. Here is what they had to say:“My dad is an immigrant from a small village in Greece called Akovos. He is a jack of all trades and held many types of jobs: Custodial services, meat cutter, carpet/tile installation. He taught himself to do it all, and did whatever it took to provide a good life for his family.
My father is a feminist . As the father of daughters, his biggest focus was raising strong, independent women who could rely on themselves. From an early age, he instilled in us the belief that we could do and be anything we wanted. He prioritized education and professional growth as a path to autonomy. He worked very hard to provide us with every opportunity so that we could make our own choices.”“My father is the chairman and CEO of WWE.
When I had my first child, my father fully expected me to return to work and for my husband to partner in the childcare. When I had my second child, the expectation that I return was a given. When I had my third child, his cousin, a man of his age, stated that, “Of course your daughter will not return to work after her third child.” Before I could reply, my dad answered, “Why wouldn’t she? She has a big job.” I was both taken aback and affirmed.
