Appreciating the Soft Power

Bravo to Vineet Nayar on her blog for HBR referencing the soft power of women leaders.  Although not only women demonstrate a soft power that I believe transcends the coercive power often demonstrated by men, I do believe that the influence of women leadership is too often trivialized.

We are a strong gender.  One that has been accepting lower wages, overt discrimination and condescending sexism for far too long.  It is refreshing to see an appreciation for inherit and natural power talents such as the ability to engage in dialogue as opposed to engaging with threats; the ability to mediate as opposed to dictate and event he ability to influence by attraction.

Articles like this bring me hope for our girls and for our future.
