Women and business career

Women are inferior to place women passed forward. Anywhere. Not on the path to leadership. Apparently, the magic of "marshal's baton" is so strong that even a true knight turns into a staunch individualists.

But women, according to the American psychologist Margaret Henning and Anne Jardin, has undeniable advantages. Knowing the specific rules of the struggle for leadership, a woman has a chance not only to cope with the objective difficulties, but to be on top before the other.

Rule 1: Be prepared to lead

Movement to success is due to the struggle for leadership. The pace, scope, ideas. Before you start the fight, it is important to know what features should have a leader. And honestly answer the question: "Do I really want to be them?"

It is known that the leader - a man, which focused on the behavior of the members of his group. He sets the tone and standard of conduct. It has the right to force other psychological perform their tasks. In other words, it has the power, take responsibility for the group and its activities.

It is noted that among the true leaders are not too smart. Intelligence for them binding. Leaders may be uneducated, but he certainly is inherent in the ability to manage people (social intelligence).

It is also important that most leaders tend to make decisions himself, without being subject to outside pressure. Intellectual independence - that is what distinguishes a true leader. In addition, it has to be emotionally stable.

Rule 2. Have a strong motivation

The truth is that most women are passive. Instead of influencing events, they let them run their course.

But what causes some women to make a career?

The most significant women in the labor force material motive, although with a certain psychological tinge: most of them have impressed with their own earnings and be independent.

The motives of moral and ethical - in second place: many women as through the work feel necessary members of society, or simply can not imagine their life without work.

In third place - the motives, which may be called compensatory: thanks to the work of women do not feel alone, in a group, they forget about home and personal troubles.

But it is hardly possible to reach the heights, just moving away from trouble. Only the desire to achieve new capabilities can satisfy serious ambitions.

Rule 3. handle the load

For women climbing the ladder of success it is often a matter of serious and unsafe. Business woman needs every hour to prove to themselves and others that it is engaged in the business. Much of nerve disorders in business woman comes from a split role: head - at work and artist - at home.

Since childhood, the family, the society set up the men that they must at least be able to feed their families. And only a small portion of women at an early age think they will like. Most hope to find someone who will support them. At the same time the traditional social role of the woman as the keeper of the family hearth, and does not imply a serious career achievements. The difference in the "Settings" and thinking in the direction of representatives of the two sexes, due to different views, emerging as a child, is enormous.

On the professional status of women is greatly influenced by her marital status and the need to combine the above-mentioned roles, which limits the choice of her favorite areas of activity, difficult career, makes it difficult to work. Many women leaders complain about the enormous nervous strain.

Rule 4. Do not fall into the trap

It is noted that the main obstacle in the business career of many women - their inability to get along with each other, "team play", to be tolerant to the shortcomings of others.

To the main pitfalls in the way of career development include the lack of a business woman global, overview view of the problem, conservatism, a tendency to get bogged down in the details and indulge emotions, ignore the system of human relations. All of these "demons" can play havoc with a business woman. Therefore, it is not useless men sometimes take advice.

Women often believe that the decisive factor in their professional success is self-realization. As a result of this "self-centeredness" they are no longer interested in such important things as a system of unofficial relationships and communication channels with the company. Often women do not recognize and do not perceive loyal relationships, dependencies such as "you - I, I - you", useful contacts that arise between employees patronage is usually taken into account men.

Women often do not consider the time factor. Many people only think about how best to solve the problem "here and now" without zagadyvaya what consequences this will have for them in the future.

Rule 5. Take advantage

Women have a number of qualities, to create a real advantage over men in the competition for power.

Female leader has a more developed social intelligence, she feels thinner nuances of relationships. Business lady effectively assess and predict the behavior of others. However, more women than men in danger to go on about their emotions. Hysteria and leadership - are incompatible.

The woman has a specific contact and practical thinking. If a man is inclined to build far-reaching plans to rely on a long-term perspective, the woman prefers a guaranteed immediate results.

Women are better than men see their own and other people's mistakes. It is usually more accurately formulate their thoughts and ideas expressed brighter. In other words, women are more properties of concrete and practical way of thinking, rather than abstract or visually-shaped.

It was found that women are less likely than men to respond to courtship and sexual harassment in the course of business relations. They are better than men able to distinguish between business and entertainment.

Rule 6. Use position

A special social role of women are aware of many men. Including managers. Surprisingly, some of them are even willing to actively support their employees if they try to get rid of their discriminatory situations; contribute to their self-esteem; to help them become economically independent; to give them the exclusive right to make a decision: whether or not to have children; foster mutual respect between employees of different sexes.

Rule 7. align with ideal

Margaret Henning and Anne Jardin as outlined image of the modern ideal "Lady Boss".

It is a bright personality, she is feminine, no cruel and cold, intellectually and physically active, decisions are made by myself, but perfectly captures the mood of others; it is alien to micromanagement subordinates. She is ready to take risks, self-motivated, self-confident, dignified responds to criticism, comments and even insults. Able to quickly switch from one social role ("Head", "business woman") to another ("daughter", "mother", "wife").

And one more, perhaps the most important point: the problem is the fullest realization of their abilities to achieve goals in life can be solved only by joint efforts of women and men.

Female leader of the past often pointedly ignored and even opposed the possible cooperation with men subconsciously protecting "their territory" from an opponent of the opposite sex, especially since earlier this territory belonged to him.

Modern woman leader rejects this deliberately unpromising approach, entering into cooperation with a man, together with part of its territory enjoyed "the experience of the previous generation"
