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.
