9. OVERALL PLANNING AND ORGANISATION

Women in leadership roles, in my experience, are meticulous planners and organisers. Everything requiring detailed planning is met and very little, if anything, is left to chance. The casual and somewhat cavalier attitude that some men have toward forward planning is not a characteristic of female leaders. The attitude of ‘she’ll be right” that exists among some men in leadership and management position, is not a characteristic of their female counterparts.

From experience, I believe women to be excellent when it comes to including others within the organisation in long term planning. Participation is encouraged and those willing to share ideas, acknowledged and applauded.

Female leaders are great when it comes to engaging others in activities that lead to the synergistic planning of long term goals and outcomes.
