Revealing the secrets of homeschooling – Learn from the Expert!

For those who do not know, home schooling is gaining popularity as an alternative to institutionalized education. This is especially true in many developed countries and due to increasing concerns of school violence and other issues.

But the challenges that home schooling brings can be more daunting than many can handle. Dana has written an excellent post on this. So, why is this relevant in a marketing blog?

If you can be bothered to delve deeper, you will realise that many of the principles that Dana recommends can be extended to your marketing department. It is usually true that your team is not made up of 100% super-star performers. There will be the wild ones, the slow ones, the whatever-ones.

    Hey, thanks! And that is true in working with other people. The best managers I have had were clear about what my responsibilities were, but let me be responsible for it. Micromanagers drive me nuts and cause much unneeded stress.

    There is so much skill required for stay-at-home-moms to be effective and efficient and many people miss that. Home Moms can teach “professional” managers a lot about budgeting, project management, time management, motivation and training! :)
