This post begins a conversation about gender styles and leadership. It asks us to consider if a more holistic leadership style would serve an organization better than labeling something as a male or female leadership style.

Quite! And the sooner we can move beyond things that are considered commonly accepted and talk about what really makes for good leadership the better. Hope the chat is thought provoking.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I agree we get stuck on red herrings. Great leadership is beyond what the status quo says is acceptable. It is more about using what we already have inside of us and having an open mind to learn what we don't know.

Hi Elli.

When Kramer saw that Jerry couldn't throw out his beat-up old tennis racket, he elicited Elaine's help in executing his living will:

Kramer: "You're perfect. You're a calculating, cold hearted businesswoman, and when there's dirty work to be done, you don't mind stompin' on a few toes." (She fluffs her hair, while beaming at the "compliment".)

Attorney: "Situation #4: You're breathing on your own, you're conscious, but with no muscular function..."

Elaine: "Yank it like yer startin' a mower!!!"

Duncan,

Great example of how gender does not predicate behavior!
