Women in charge
Does your daughter aspire to be prime minister? Maybe your sister dreams about being a leading sports star. Does mum think she’s a movie star or manage the house pretending to be the CEO of BHP Billiton? Maybe she is a CEO. Take a moment to think about Julia Gillard, deputy prime minister, who makes history when she becomes the first female acting prime minister for 2 ½ days from Tuesday 11 December while prime minister Kevin Rudd is in Bali.
Whatever your political affiliation, you will have to admit that Julia is a stunning role model. I have just finished reading See Jane Lead by Lois P.Frankel. While most examples discussed are American, I think Frankel raises some valid points about women’s intrinsic qualities including; vision, a willingness to take risks and motivation. A great book for anyone with daughters or anyone who is interested in developing their existing family or business management skills. http://www.dwyersbookstore.com.au/keywords/?keywords=see+jane+lead
