Do Women Make Good Leaders?

the problem with women leaders is that men are not even remotely interested in following them, even if some women are. And if no men follow, then the women following them won't either. You need majority to rule, and you don't have it.

Though I agree that the thought processes are there to support female dominance in the area of leadership, there comes one discrepancy which I find all the more interesting. Women who are GOOD at their job in leadership become quickly emotionally attached to said job.

That being said, if the woman is detail oriented, she will then become emotionally attached to a point where she feels she "MUST TAKE CARE OF EVERY DETAIL". This thought process has been seen over and over again in women primarily. The unfortunate thing is that though women are good at finding details, once they get into this cycle, their stress level goes through the roof as they accomplish it. In the end, they did a good job. At the same time, the woman now successfully, pulled out a clump of her own hair and lowered her life span by at least 20 years.

In my opinion, men are far less emotionally attached and though we miss the details, that is what couples are for in the first place. The men were meant to lead as though we feel stress, we do not feel anywhere near as deep as women do and thus, our much lowered amount of stress keeps us doing our job, and at the same time, alive and with normal blood pressure.

In my opinion, a male leader needs a female as a partner to point out the details for him to see what he missed BUT, it should be his responsibility to be in charge as he was built for it. That is just my view on the situation.

Honestly I've met many people in my life. What I have learned is that it takes someone with all the qualities of leadership to make it to the top. Decisiveness is a huge factor yes, but without the rest its nothing. Without any education backing their choices its nothing.

To say women are better leaders I would say you are sexist. I'm gonna take a guess and assume you believe women are superior to begin with or you are frustrated enough women don't step up and match many men in high power roles in our society. Also because of this you may have the qualities of a leader yourself but are rather immature as to taking action or thought process as to being a leader. I would know I went through the same general phase years back.

In my search to find fellow people both men and women I found that many people are not leader material or want to be a leader. I find many men who don't make the cut. So if its so few men stand out I'm sure its the same for women, of course from a woman's perspective they see who these women are. The popular one's in school for starter, not vary many as usual, well same for men. I believe its more equal than people care to admit. Our society has a long way to go to balance this, i'm sure one day to ask a question if one sex is better will be silly and a thing of the past.

Also for those of you who put up research saying this sex is better than the other you are undoubtedly misinformed. Statistics can be skewed by too many ways to give us accurate data. Also we can judge on specific factors that would make one traditionally dominant based on culture, how raised, race, and so on.
