[10月Advanced試閱]Women Leaders Making an Impact

難度： ★ ★ ★ 

When I first started in the business world, female leaders wore pantsuits and assumed a tough demeanor. Looking back, women felt they needed to adopt a masculine style to fit into a maledominated environment, where leadership looked strong, domineering and authoritative. Today, modern ideals of transformative leadership value skills like emotional intelligence, empathy and inclusiveness—nurturing qualities I’ve found women tend to possess. Organizations benefit from women leading as women, not women feeling obligated to lead like men. What does this changing face of leadership look like, and how do we manifest it?

我在商業界剛起步的時候，女性領袖都穿著褲裝 並且氣度強悍。現在回顧起來，當時的女性認 為她們必須採取男性化的風格，才能融入那個由男性主 導的環境。當時的領導階層看起來強而有力、專橫跋 扈，而且充滿威權。 今天，變革型領導的現代理想則是注重情緒智商、 同理心與包容性等技能——是我發現偏向女性特有的養 育性特質。組織可經由女性以發揮其專有特質的方式領 導受益，而非女性覺得必須採用男性的方式領導。 這種改變中的領導面貌看起來是什麼模樣，我們又 該如何予以彰顯？
