Nowadays, the number of women leaders peaks higher than ever. Hoping to establish a female-friendly, entrepreneurial culture, they engage other women. This, however, might come with a drawback.
Women rather focus on collaboration than on leadership. Nonetheless, getting things done requires clear-cut leadership, not a circle of friends. Being the ‘leader with empathy’ combines best of both worlds. Furthermore, women tend to keep a watchful eye on their employees, giving them a feeling of unreliability. Handing over autonomy will make them notice that their input really matters, which will raise their enthusiasm and their sense of responsibilities. Though being flexible encourages your employees loyalty, you should never make promises you can’t keep. Be as generous as you can, but also be realistic about what the business can support.
A healthy corporate culture is based on a harmony between definite leadership and an amicable work climate. These two conditions make an excellent, healthy office atmosphere.
