Woman managers need to
appreciate that it takes heroic energy to rock the cradle and rock the
corporate world. First pin a badge for bravery on yourself for attempting it.
Then, promise you will not even begin to tread the path that leads to the
joyless land of being a super-woman or super-mom. Enlist your men and families
as willing accomplices in the challenging task of reconstructing a corporate.
Workplace that lovingly
accommodates the needs of humans, for families, for music, poetry and time for
just standing and watching the world go by! Be kind to yourself. Love yourself.
Conquer fear and overcome the need for instructions. Pursue the ability to
adapt and be a leader of proactive change. The New World is not for those who
are what Nehru called unwilling victims, dragged to be sacrificed on the altar
of change. Be leaders to be accepted as such. Banish forever your fear of being
centre stage, your reluctance to accept that you are where the buck stops.
Relearn and re-install the
software of the human heart that your mothers embodied. The New Woman of the
past decade must not forsaken her heritage of loving and caring for the tough
hard-bitten so-called ‘male boss model.’ Both men and women managers need to
put the human being at the centre of all business processes.
