This has been one of the years most have heard of female leadership talent and ... but talk about it is it just a fad or are we at a time of social change, political and economic crucial?
In general, those who speak of the benefits of female talent and leadership in economic and business Avogado to promote large-scale expansion, however there is no single way to understand it, to depart from the traditional female-male dichotomy, nor to address their development in organizations.
The Observatory Dona, Empresa i Economia the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce developed a conference in July on new values \u200b\u200bfor corporate governance in a changing world , and invited, inter alia, women such Tomasdottir Halla (Auður CEO of Capital, Icelandic bank inversions) and Elín Sigfúsdóttir (former director general of New Landsbanki, Iceland's National Bank), to discuss the role of women in and global economic order.
Also the Chamber presented the results of 2008 study on the economic impact loss female talent, a loss that occurs mainly because a large bag of highly trained women are taking jobs below their capabilities (and therefore low remuneration, do not forget!), accompanied by a small but constant drain of women from paid work to unpaid work.
For its part the University Pompeu Fabra in September organized the conference "Life " where the emphasis was on the ability of women to overcome their fears, their faults, their complexes, and women become strategic that can make the best system and established rules ... but not touching the ground up. It, again, Alfons Cornella we insisted that women mean business that our talent is not only valuable (in economic-utilitarian terms: profitability, competitiveness, investment, cost control .. .) but necessary for companies and organizations for current times and run and that we have the possibility of a quiet revolution from below by choosing (buying, working for) only those organizations that respond to our concerns.
One wonders if these organizations and companies are not receptive to such talent as valuable, perhaps it is because the power is already occupied by men? This approach is outlined in Quan manen them gifts, an excellent article on what styles of TV3 develop women leadership when they have the power. Not miss the description that make it the exercise it already ...
Typically women we compare with the male model of management and leadership and, therefore, or we are branded as "soft" (too feminine?) Or we labeled as "hard" ("little female?), and in which is it! ... We are never in the right place. Catalyst , American organization that continuously analyzes the impact of gender on the economy, calls this "Double-Bind Dilemma." This organization also exposes why men need to incorporate a different view of reality, including (without utilitarianism) women: Engaging Men in Gender Initiatives: What Change Agents Need To Know (May 2009).
I do agree that all persons and organizations that promote reflection on these issues, is that talent and leadership of men, en su expresión más depredadora y egocéntrica no sólo no funciona en la economía y en la empresa, sino que además nos lleva a la ruina.
Así que no se trata de poner el acento en las diferencias entre mujeres y hombres, sino de cambiar nuestra forma de desarrolarnos en la vida para re-humanizar nuestras relaciones personales y sociales, nuestras culturas, nuestras políticas, nuestras economías, nuestras sociedades, nuestro mundo. Me gustaría pensar que este es el camino y que ya no hay vuelta atrás.
