What a busy week. It has gone by so fast!! I don't know if school qualifies...but times flies :)
Interesting week thinking about power, and who holds power. The discussion for this week was fun and I was surprised with how people answered the question. The one boy in our group answered women, and two of the girls answered men....not what I would have expected. People brought out good points for each gender, but what one person might view as a strength others viewed the same trait as a weakness.
I feel that both men and women can make good leaders, as well as bad leaders. I have had experiences in my life with both. In my current unit we have a male manager with a staff of mostly women. In this situation I feel that being a male has it advantages. I can't imagine what it would be like to manage over 100 women, plus we work in the women's and children's department....we are surrounded by women all the time! Poor guy--I think that could be a little overwhelming.
Leadership is an important aspect of our lives, and when in positions of leadership gender is not the most important thing. The traits and personality of the leader hold much more importance than whether they are a man or a woman.
