Women entrepreneurs have stronger leadership

Chinanews, Oct. 18 - Not long before, Fortune magazine published an
article, stating that "maybe women have not ruled the whole world, but at
least they have ruled a large portion." Statistics from the China
Association of Women Entrepreneurs show that among Chinese enterprises
run by women, the weight of profitable enterprises is 7.8 percentage
points higher than the comparable figure of enterprises run by males, the
proportion of women-run enterprises that break even 4.3 percentage points
higher than men-run ones and the weight of women-run loss-making
enterprises 12.1 percentage points lower than men-run ones. This exactly
indicates that women at work have greatly strengthened their leadership.
Lu Xiaoya, famous writer, psychologist and senor editor of China Youth
Daily, analyzed that during the course of management and operation, women
have stronger leadership than men. Males prefer independence, self-help
and competition while females attach more importance to interpersonal
communication, mutual dependence and teamwork. When making a decision,
men stress reasonableness while women strive for fairness. In modern
enterprises and society, the so-called success refers more to success
achieved through teamwork. Therefore, if women want to attain stronger
leadership, they should take full advantage of their capability of
teamwork.
IBM Greater China's Human Resources Director Grace Kuo said that more
than 60 years ago in 1942, Ruth Leach became the first female vice
president in IBM's history. In the following year, female employees in
IBM's production departments reached one third of the total. In 1945, IBM
had another female distributor Jacqueline Decker. Grace Kuo believed that
the increase of female staff indicates the rising position of career
women and at the same time boosts enterprises to develop toward
diversification. One can say that women have held up half of the career
arena.
