What Makes a Woman Successful?
Women are now the largest growing population in all industries of the workforce. These factors contribute to the fact that in today’s global and diverse economy, professional women are emerging with what it takes to succeed. Women possess the innate potential to keep a balance between the professional and personal, cultivate relationships, accept feedback, express feelings, and adapt to change to meet the code of survival- all of which, in the past, used to be “taboo” for women in the office. Today, women have turned those office taboos into their success. However, not all women in business excel in each of these skills. Women make up around 45% of the global workforce, yet of this percentage, 70% of women are living paycheck to paycheck (barely making it) with little incentive to move on or up in their careers. A lot of it has to do with perspectives in society. Read the following statement below.
A father and son are driving home. They get into a car accident and are rushed to the emergency care unit. Both the father and son are in critical condition and are awaiting surgery. A surgeon walks into the room to save the boy, takes one look at the patient and says “I can not operate on this boy. He is my son.”
What is the surgeon talking about? The answer is simple, the surgeon is the boy’s mother. The answer has to do your perspective. One of the secrets to success for professional women is viewing all job titles and positions as “genderless”. Meaning any man or woman is qualified to hold high ranking positions and high paying salaries, including you!
What makes women successful in the workforce is the fact that they don’t try to prove themselves as equals to men, or try to outshine male workers. They value their ability to communicate with people and focus on building relationships. The concentration on these ideals give women a competitive advantage over their male colleagues when having to deal with clients, other companies, and business partners.
