new business realities usher in the need for
a new leadership model, one that replaces
command and control with transparency and
inclusion. This will increasingly highlight the
value of a more feminine approach. Where
in the past communal behaviors naturally
favored by women may have been obstacles
to leadership success, in a collaborative
future they may well become an edge.

Women leaders are more persuasive thantheir male counterparts.
When feeling the sting of rejection, women
leaders learn from adversity and carry onwith an "I'll show you" attitude.
Women leaders demonstrate an inclusive,team-building leadership style of problem
solving and decision making.Women leaders are more likely to ignore
rules and take risks.

how you can help them.
