Generation Flux And Women Leaders
Mar 26 2012
Two very interesting reads. One by Fast Company on the changing nature of our workforce and a redefining of generation based on the way people view their careers regardless of their age. The other is by Harvard Business Review on whether women make better leaders. Here they are:
This Is Generation Flux: Meet The Pioneers Of The New (And Chaotic) Frontier Of Business. Janelle Monney, an executive coach, told me about this article. I got both exhilarated and mentally exhausted reading it because I was wondering if I could keep up with this career flux until I’m 80 like some of the folks mentioned in the article. I think it’s because most of the people mentioned in the article didn’t have two little kids fluxing around them while they were bouncing from project to project! 🙂 I was introduced to Janelle by Peter Strople, an instant-change agent who knows pretty much everyone worth knowing on this planet.
Are Women Better Leaders than Men? “But the women’s advantages were not at all confined to traditionally women’s strengths. In fact at every level, more women were rated by their peers, their bosses, their direct reports, and their other associates as better overall leaders than their male counterparts — and the higher the level, the wider that gap grows” (see charts shown in the article.)
