Abstract
I feel that in today’s society more women are now starting to seek business degrees, because men currently out number women. Men feel that women are weak and should remain at home raising the kids. I strongly feel that women leaders are needed more now in organizations. It is not about power and control; it is about being supportive and knowing how to give that support. Even though, men and women will do anything for success, however, on the other hand women sabotage one another while climbing to the top in order to obtain the success, power and control. However, I feel that if we as women could come up with an “GOOD OLE’ GIRL” system in which it could help to open the doors for me executive positions in the business world.
Concepts of Leadership
Leadership is a process that a person influences others to accomplish an objective and directs the organization in a way that makes it more cohesive and coherent. Austin and Peters (1985) observed that “Leaders carry out this process by applying their leadership attributes, such as beliefs, values, ethnics, character knowledge, and skills” (pg. 19). As a manager, supervisor, or lead, gives you the authority to achieve certain tasks and objectives in the organization, which this power does not make you a leader, it basically makes you the person in charge. Let’s say for instance, you are a contemporary leader in a political arena, these individuals can take heart and gain great strength from knowing that Lincoln succeeded, and from understanding his methods in overcoming adversity, you must have stamina, fortitude, and self-confidence. “In order for you to be a great leader you must believe in yourself” (Phillips, 1992, p 74).
