Women vs. Men
why I think women will never be as successful as men in a leadership role.
1.) Women in a leadership role tend to use their status in a negative way. They feel that they can dominate the working enviornment by being a super-bitch and by treating their staff poorly. They do this in an effort to gain more obedience and respect from their staff, but usually it works the opposite way. Men tend to be more even-handed and don't really put as much effort into making your life miserable because they're more focussed on the shit your doing, rather than nit-picking the way you're doing it.
2.) Women are naturally more emotional then men, they will subconsciously take things personally, get slightly overwhelmed and a bit bitchy when things don't go their way. Where as men tend to be less emotional and therefore more productive and more likely to come up with a solution to a problem a lot faster than a woman might be able too.
3.) Men are good relationship builders because they understand that business relationships and the deals that take place within them are almost never meant to be personal so they are less likely to be offended by someones disappointment or anger than a woman. Women are naturally more passionate, which isn't necessarily a bad thing as it is this very passion that tends to take women to the top in the first place, but every bump along the way seems to affect the woman more than the same bump would affect a man.
Don't get me wrong, I am woman so obviously I feel that I am capable of just as much as a man, but I think half of that is because I realize these behaviors are a part of the female nature. Staying conscious of these issues makes it easier to avoid them and keep myself level headed. Thank God too.

I was thinking the same thing; was half expecting a misogynist post by reading the title.
Interesting write up coming from the other perspective.
In 1976, James Hunt broke the sound barrier through Eau Rouge only to retire before the event finished... following the race he had sex with three Belgian nurses at the clubhouse near La Source.
Only ever had female
Only ever had female bosses...every single job. Technically if you far enough up the ladder I got to a male one. Always found them equally competent as any man. To be honest, I don't think it would ever matter to me if it is male / female, as long as they cared about what they did as much as I cared about my work.

To be fair, the whole women vs. men debate is an over-simplified generalization anyways.
With that said, you had me at the first sentence, OP.
If your dreams don't scare you, then they are not big enough.

lol ^^^this.
1.) Women will never get ahead when they are busy trying to fit in to the boys club by stomping on their own.
2.) Estrogen IS a magical hormone in that it affects emotions and therefore behavior. Testosterone has no such magical quality.
3.) Men are definitely more competent at relationship building in business. Women only have relationship building skills when it comes to the private sphere due to their extraordinary nurturing capabilities that comes from all that passion.

I hope you're not implying
I hope you're not implying that I am "stomping on my own" because by no means is that my intention. If it was I wouldn't be active in an organization based around supporting women in their growth in the work force. :) I'm stating observations and experience.
Also, as "magical" as estrogen is, it has it's negative side affects. You can't work as efficiently when you're in an emotional state.

Probably why I'm the first girl in my office in years....
Not implying you are stomping
Not implying you are stomping all over women with this drivel - you are indeed, stomping all over women.
It scares me to think you would write this nonsense and state you are a part of a woman's organization.
Do you really think men aren't affected by their emotions? Have you ever dated one?
You're observations are internalized projections and I'm sorry you feel that way about women.
However, I'm really glad to hear that you have the highly desired skill all women dream of: rational thought. What I wouldn't give for just a little bit! How did you ever do it?

Hmm, seems I hit a nerve.

Clearly you're emotional about this (oh the irony),but I think you're taking it a bit far. I don't remember saying men weren't affected by emotions? That would mean I was implyng they weren't human. All I said was that they aren't as affected as women are and they are far less likely to show it at work. I think it's important that women act rationally and fairly as often as they can, without getting too emotional to the point of becoming irrational, and without becoming overly defensive whenever someone brings up a point they may not agree with. Maybe this is something you should consider at some point?

Lol yes it strikes a nerve
Lol yes it strikes a nerve when women start going on about why women suck in the workplace.
Irrational is posting observations as fact without statistics from reputable studies. Half of what I wrote went completely over your head. PS I'm pretty sure there are lots of men in leadership positions that treat their employees like shit. But that's totally different than when a woman does it, right? Lol gmafb

It didn't go over my head, I just ignored it :)
Once again, you're taking it too personally, not to mention over dramatising it (proving my point I might add). However, you are entitled to your own opinion and I can respect that, however juvenile it may be.
Lol you write that women
Lol you write that women can't work efficiently due to estrogen ruling their emotions...
I just don't believe in perpetuating lame stereotypes but to each his own.
