Lead Dadnoun
Lead Dads are men who are the go-to parents whether they work full time, part time or devote all their time to their families. In many cases, they are there to support their spouses or partners in their careers – many because 18 percent of Lead Dads are divorced, widowed or otherwise single. And those in offices are always allies of Working Moms and caregivers more broadly.
Are you a father who…

If you said “yes” to one of these, you’re probably a Lead Dad!
