Masters of Making: Recognizing Leadership Formed Through Caregiving
Masters of Making shows how raising children and caring for others - especially motherhood - builds leadership workplaces need. Idaho demonstrates what happens when that leadership is recognized.
Motherhood develops leadership - but workplaces don't see it that way. Mothers coordinate people, solve problems, and make decisions under pressure every day, yet this experience is overlooked in hiring, leadership development, and advancement. Research conducted by Gallup with more than 4,000 Idahoans documents the scope of caregiving responsibility and conditions that limit recognition and participation. Masters of Making updates how Idaho workplaces understand leadership, so what mothers already do is visible, valued, and recognized statewide.
