"Women do it better"

Article here. Excerpt:

'For one thing, because “ Women Do It Better Than Men.” This is the title of a leadership study published in 2012 by the Harvard Business Review. It scrutinized performance evaluations of 7,280 leaders and concluded that women outscored men in 12 of 16 competencies that are crucial to “outstanding leadership.”

And, while the study confirmed the long-held view that female leaders are, on average, more nurturing, it also found that women especially outscored men in “taking initiative,” “practicing selfdevelopment,” and “driving for results.” These aren’t characteristics usually ascribed to women.

More women should also be in charge, I believe, because it changes the way others think when they see a powerful woman chairing a Senate hearing or holding a press conference at a crime scene or leading a boardroom discussion.

Children, particularly, need to see women in charge so girls can aspire to these positions, and boys think it’s okay—and natural —for women to do so.'
