Women's emancipation began in the first years of the twentieth century. Today, a free, independent and motivated woman is not uncommon. A representative of the fair sex sex with pleasure took over much of the male world: from clothing to business acumen. So who is this woman leader? What is inherent in her and how does her leadership style differ from the male?
- Social intelligence. The woman leader has a special sensitivity to the relationship between people, successfully captures the moment of the maturing conflict and is able to use this information for their own purposes. Agree that the ability to understand the relationship of colleagues and partners to yourself is useful in business and a woman in such matters is by nature more receptive.
- Restrained emotionality. High emotionality, the woman leader has to hide and control. A surge of emotions and management of the organization and leadership positions are incompatible, in such a case a cold understanding is necessary.
- Work and Entertainment: it is forbidden to mix. A woman clearly draws a line between business and leisure and does not allow herself to cross. This is a certain degree of self-defense, because in leadership positions the girl, as a rule, is surrounded by a male, and she needs to be made aware that now she is, first of all, a high-class professional.
- Concreteness. A woman leader clearly articulates her thoughts and wishes, controls her own and other people's mistakes. Usually, she prefers short-term prospects to long-term ones. On the one hand, the result here and now perfectly confirms its leadership and professional qualities, but sometimes you need to think globally. To success accompanied as long as possible, sometimes you need to look a little further than usual.
- There is no dominance. Experience shows that women who try to adopt the male style of management are not always successful. Women's leadership is collective, it is able to delegate authority to subordinates, to emphasize their uniqueness and importance for the success of the company, to unite people under their own leadership. This style of leadership is similar to the unification of a large family - a purely feminine skill.
- Convincing. A woman leader is capable of sparking a working interest, if someone is questionable about her actions, she will definitely confirm her opportunities in practice. Thanks to her ability to understand the needs of others, she is able to convince and motivate her subordinates.
- The skill will switch. A real woman leader can quickly rebuild from one social role to another (from the "leader" to "wife, mother"). She also needs a reliable rear, in the form of understanding and supporting her family's beginnings. It seems that it makes no difference what the head of the house does, and what are her everyday problems? When you come to work, everything else is left behind the walls of the office. Alas, but in terms of women, this rule does not work. A woman wants to engage in what is traditionally considered a "man's" business, but she does not want to give up the "female" business (and sometimes she can not). To combine this, she simply needs understanding and help, first of all, from her husband.
- Adventurism. Surprisingly, at work, a female leader is willing to take risks. Perhaps it's a matter of innate intuition, which she is not unfounded to rely on?
In any case, a woman runs the risk and is often the winner. - Adequate perception of criticism. When criticizing a male leader, he often takes it personally, because work is one of his main means of self-realization from time immemorial. Perhaps, because the woman leader has an equally fundamental role - the "mother" in which she is able to express herself, criticism at work does not take her so much to heart. She is able to rework the received remarks and benefit from them.
- Charm. Of course, a female leader will not flirt with partners to conclude a bargain. However, since birth, she has been able to have people around her, and especially men. When the barrier of doubt in the professionalism of a woman leader is overcome, men perceive her feminine at a subconscious level. Do you have this doubt? Yes, not every leading woman behaves this way, but it's more their fault. Do not forget that even as a leader, you remain a woman and can successfully use your female charms in business.
