ON BUSINESS IN RUSSIAN
Каждый год в мире все большее число женщин, обнаруживших в себе задатки лидера, решают заняться бизнесом. Социологи пришли к выводу, что у женщин, впервые открывших собственное дело, зачастую больше шансов преуспеть, чем у мужчин. Это связывают с тем, что женщины реалистичнее оценивают собственные возможности. Кроме того, деловые женщины предпочитают создавать компании, предоставляющие различного рода услуги. Эти компании отличаются большей гибкостью по сравнению с компаниями, работающими в производственной сфере.
Другая группа женщин-лидеров предпочитает не основывать собственное дело, а делать карьеру в уже существующих корпорациях. Их успешное продвижение по служебной лестнице определяется тем, что эти женщины обладают чувством перспективы, умеют руководить, не бояться нововведений и характеризуются высоким уровнем социальной ответственности. Они не боятся признаваться в своих слабостях и ошибках. Женщина-лидер способна убедить подчинённых, что от них что-то зависит.
Примером для многих деловых американок служит Карли Фиорина, президент Хьюлетг-Паккард, компании, входящем в число 20 самых крупных корпораций США.
Большинство женщин, занимающих высшие посты в руководстве американских компаний, высоко образованы, сравнительно молоды и работают в компаниях, связанных с вы
сокими технологиями и интернетом.
Следует признать, что женщине в бизнесе все равко труднее, чем мужчине. Женщины составляют лишь 12% директоров крупных компаний в США, распоряжаются меньшими бюджетными средствами, чем мужчины, занимающие аналогичные посты, в 6 раз чаще останавливаются в карьерном росте из-за конфликтов в семье.
