Females Leaders and Nurturing Competencies.
Aquilla Otobong Akpan a life Model
The majority of people we talk with make the assumption that women will excel at nurturing competencies such as developing others, inspiring and motivating others, relationship building, collaboration and teamwork.
Statistics demonstrates that these competencies are more positive. But those competencies with the largest positive differences are taking initiative, displaying integrity and honesty, and driving for results. These are nurturing competencies.
These competencies highlight that women were seen as more effective in getting things done, being role models and delivering results. These skills describe leaders who take on difficult challenges, ensure that people act with integrity, and who simply achieve challenging results.
My current fact pattern becomes even more intriguing when i analyzed various functional areas within an organization. Here is what the data showed:
I found it interesting that in the traditional male bastions of sales, legal, engineering, IT and the R&D function; women actually received higher effectiveness ratings than males. Many of our stereotypes are obviously incorrect. Again, the concern about women not being able to perform well in those functional areas is resoundingly refuted by the data. Only in facilities management and maintenance do they not do well.
Finally, as women move up the ladder in an organization, the higher they move the more positively they are perceived.
