Are Women Better Leaders Than Men?

An increasingly heard claim is that women are better managers than men. What this really means that more leaders with stereotypical feminine traits than with traditional masculine qualities could, whether men or women.

The basis for this assertion is that women are more cooperative, while men are more competitive. There is no doubt that cooperation for the success of the economy is still alive. In addition, work is much more complex. We are now working in an era of knowledge, wherePeople want a say and not just told what to do. Organizations have to say, many actors be more vocal about how they behave - Government, environmental lobbyists, shareholders, customers, employee groups, etc. This will require leaders to build relationships with better skills. The ability to work together and promote shared responsibility is now at a premium. Then there is the greater need to promote talent, focusing on der''Erziehung''. It is not that men can not do these things, but thatSuch skills are more female than male.

Of course there are common competition between women and men in leadership positions, but that's why the discussion about male and female traits must be framed. That is, some women have masculine traits and vice versa. In any case, it is clear that the cultures of many organizations are becoming more feminine. All the talk about the last 20 years to improve their team work and show more consideration shows employees howorganizational cultures, women are always and rightly so.

But it is an important point that this debate is facing. Everything what I have read how and why women more than men to be leaders focusing solely on what happened, could within organizations. But what about the competitive environment that private sector firms in operation? To beat competitors, the leaders have a strong competitive position in the strip across the enterprise to promote and they need to have an insatiable thirstto win him. CEO's need to constantly keep an eye on their competitors and are continually searching for new ways to circumvent them. The public sector is also under pressure to offer better value for money, but they have no competitors, at least not to the same extent as the private sector. Compare how you would behave as a leader, if you took a group of boy scouts on a field trip versus coaching a high school sports team. In the latter case, you need to promote a verystrong competitive position in all your players strip.

This means that we can dispense with the male competitive drive, if we expect in any modern business to survive field. The conclusion is then that we strike the right balance between female and male competitive ability to cooperate. Here is a proposal to help achieve such a balance: male (or female) leaders with a masculine bent, you may need to learn how to channel their competitive urges to the outside to learn andhow to better co-ordinated internally, this means moving from a person as a scorer, not only a coach, so that the profits generated by others rather than on your own merit. die''Golden By Goal''versus coach I think the drive to your own solutions to the questions as to the type of questions asked by others to offer solutions to draw. The male tendency is the role of solution-generator, someone who used to identify develop analytical, rational abilities, better answers tofocus on difficult issues as everybody else, and rely on your own there - a very masculine. Thus, the drive to win is essential, it needs to be directed only to the outside.

The bottom line is that this issue is more about culture than about the number of men and women in managerial positions. In cultures that are strongly masculine, can win the drive to self-destructive. In sport there is no problem. But the company now calls for a muchintense level of cooperation. Promoting the knowledge-workers to think creatively and then merging the various inputs into a coherent whole, and calls for strong co-facilitation skills. Overly competitive crops are fine, when the only task is to quickly and efficiently. But where you need to facilitate creative thinking, can be counterproductive too much pressure. That is the challenge of cultures that combine to create the best of our competitive advantage shoots with our ability tofoster collaboration. Women might be better leaders in the public sector, but we need more androgynous leaders in the economy.
