Mother Mastermind: 5 Lessons on Career and Leadership from Tina Knowles

Lesson 4: Always stand by your morals.

During her speech, the 60-year-old mom and entrepreneur said that she was the one to blame for Destiny’s Child’s first record deal falling through. She says that after speaking up about the record label exposing the young girls to things that she didn’t think were age appropriate, she was told to leave the offices and never bring the girls back. Three months later, Knowles says that the girls got a bigger and better deal, proving that it always pays to stick to your morals when it comes to business.
