Many men still held most of the leadership positions of the large and medium-sized companies. However, due to the news of the day-to-day business, may be your own experience, you will easily find most of the leader male failure. The ranking, such as Indra Nooyi PepsiCo Anglo-American or Irene Rosenfeld, Kraft Foods, the world's most powerful businessman in the post of Chief Executive Cynthia Carroll, and some women have proved their success turned to unusual challenging times, and their company. There are other examples, such as Jordan the king huge influence, in order to make this world a better place. So, the question is: "female leaders, to better meet the key challenges of the 21st century, and from them we can learn what position?"
Many scholars have advocated in this century, we have witnessed a huge challenge, mainly driven by two key factors: a sudden and startling population boom and the technological revolution to accelerate faster, and this provides us with a pure unimaginable force affect the world around us. Some people tend to assert that the new technology, genetic engineering or other innovative products will be the only key, in response to our pressing problems. I firmly believe that another reason has been the main driving force is that we are currently facing serious damage. 2000 view of the world has been driven autonomy, independence and control-based model of leadership. These have been the major impact is the root metaphor of religious, business and science in the Western world. Support of this traditional "masculine" prototype, not only the autonomy and freedom, but also to control and manipulate. No such practice of rising to a point is wrong, because it is a huge technological advancement on the basis of But the old model of the classic "masculine" values-based has led to a disaster, we are in big trouble, not only as it relates to across many fields such as politics, education and business environment, but As early as the shortcomings of command and control management in the early 1990s, more and more obvious. Each organization is superior to exercise power, they do what their boss has been dominant in the hierarchy of the team under the boss. Many companies fierce paradigm shift over the past two decades, in their leadership style. However, since then a lot of things really changed.
Our planet is now needed is a dramatic change of leadership to embrace a more "feminine", such as the value of mutual relations, cooperation, integration, balance, integrity, especially the model of mutual respect.
Although many women leaders in over 25 different countries, I personally found that women have some obvious advantages when it comes to the urgent need for value. Most holding women in leadership positions can not give honest and direct feedback, easier to rely on your instincts when it comes to a decision in an emergency situation, and lend a hand of someone else's care, and promote cooperation.
Bass and Avolio, two specializing in leadership and management of behavioral science academic research, has identified 11 in the company's leadership behavior. Alice Eagly, H. Bass and Avolio's study, based on a study conducted found that the women's five leadership behavior ("comprehensive development", "expects, and rewards", "example" and "revelation" "participatory decision-making") more frequently than men. Man to take two types of behavior (control and corrective action "and" individualistic decision-making) than women.
Much-needed return value as the women on the basis of a new leadership model can often be found in real life and leadership of individuals. Such people have learned to stand on their mission in life to live their own principles, and always align their actions with their own heart, tell them. Found these individuals to speak and lend a caring hand to reach deep into their hearts, their unique life purpose and life of the people and the Earth as a whole force.
The bad news is business, politics, and even education, there is no return on the authenticity. We all grew up in a command and control society, which is not to promote real life. A lot of people are still not up to or loss of praise and recognition, if they dare to live up to our a priori principles and values, the constant fear-driven.
Therefore, authentic leadership style, both men and women in a good position to become the next great leader. However, many women are even better positioned because they have life more frequently female values, this seems to be a natural output of a real leadership.
The women will play an important role in the future, the authenticity of the electric drive when it comes to the way towards a new leadership paradigm, prepare to meet the major challenges of the 21st century. However, the number of women in leadership positions have been hovering around 20 percent since 2004. Therefore, we must ensure that the creation of an appropriate structure and incentives, so as to promote the paper high-potential leaders.
