We Need Women Leaders
May 7, 2012
Women have been making
tremendous strides in the workplace not only in filling top
jobs as integral assets to any organization but also in the movement toward
equal pay for equal work. I am afraid that our presumptive Republican nominee
for president has set that path to full equality in the workplace back several
years.
What is most disconcerting is
that Mr. Romney could end up as the president of the United States and set
women's struggle for equal pay for equal work back even further. He seems to
imply he wants all women to stay at home.
Mr. Romney needs to stop
offending an entire voting blocs of women who take his so called “gaffs” to
heart. Many women have the clear feeling that these comments are not just
slight slips of the tongue. Romney’s recent gaffs in his public appearances
appear as repetitions of the same theme. As a result, many voters feel these
comments represent his deep feelings that women in the workforce may not be as
relevant or important to the workforce as men.
He defended his comments by
saying that women working at home have a very difficult job. We all certainly
agree that job is perhaps the most important job of all. However that is not
the only place that women should be assigned. Sorry Mr. Romney, we need women
in the workforce too.
As I started thinking about Romney’s
gaffs, I immediately thought of the person that rocketed my career beyond what
I ever could have imagined. Anne Frahm
was not only the first great leader I worked with, she represents the quintessential
leader and mentor everyone should have access to.
Back when I was 19 or 20, I
was a volunteer for the Republican Party in the 400 Club, as it was called back
then. You had to donate at least $400.00 to get in. A tidy sum for me back
then. Even though I was absolutely as low on the totem pole as one could
possibly be in the Republican Party, Anne had a way of determining who was
willing to work hard and could benefit from her leadership and mentoring.
A transformational leader can
portray dozens of styles of leadership, and Anne knew precisely how to
invigorate me to greater heights. She and I quickly became fast friends with
mutual respect for each other. And, it
was there that I learned what a true great leader was all about.
Anne had the ability to make
you feel as though you were the most important cog in the wheel and that your
abilities were unique to the organization.
However, she would not hesitate to let you know when you made a mistake
or needed improvements. As a
transformational leader, she knew when and to what degree to apply the right
amount of pressure. Every employee in an organization benefits from great
leadership.
Anne had the unique ability
to transform herself into an autocratic leader as needed, and control important
meetings without appearing to be a “bitch” as might be the case if she were not
as skilled. She presented authenticity
in her every word, particularly as she exhibited caring for those she mentored.
With this type of leader, you are energized to excel in an organization. Your
passion for the work grows even further driving any organization to greatness.
Mitt, we need leaders like
Anne. Please try not to discourage them.
