I'd like to see where boys and girls end up if they get equal encouragement - I think we might have some differences in how leadership is done.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Research shows that girls look at leadership differently than boys.
We need to create a society where girls and women are getting the same encouragement and support to build their careers as the boys and men are. From the start.
I don't pretend there aren't biological differences, but I don't believe the desire for leadership is hardwired biology, not the desire to win or excel. I believe that it's socialization, that we're socializing our daughters to nurture and our boys to lead.
If more women are in leadership roles, we'll stop assuming they shouldn't be.
Leadership consists of picking good men and helping them do their best.
At Girl Scouts, we create leaders.
I don't agree with all-male leaderships. Men cannot be left to run things on their own. I think it's a thoroughly bad thing to have a men-only leadership.
Leadership is one of sports' intangibles. Guys can score, guys can fight, guys can skate faster than anybody else. But not everybody can say, 'Follow me.'
People don't always want to have females as leaders.
It is very hard to be a female leader. While it is assumed that any man, no matter how tough, has a soft side... and female leader is assumed to be one-dimensional.
