Women Better Leaders

Hilary Clinton, presidential candidate of the United States, Susan Wojcicki, CEO of YouTube, Theresa May, prime minister of the United Kingdom, these are just but a few of the successful women leaders in the worlds. Women are considered subordinates to men in all situations and cannot take up the leadership role. Leadership requires much more than just being a man. It is evident that women have been in leadership and made remarkable contributions globally, such as enabling change, providing lasting solutions to problems and inspiring action. Women are definitely better leaders than men.

Oprah Winfrey is an excellent example of a successful woman in leadership. Despite her difficult childhood which was stained with poverty, molestation, teenage pregnancy and death of her son, she still was able to do better in life. With perseverance and hard work, she made it as a great leader. Her show ""The Oprah Winfrey Show"" was the highest-rated television program and was nationally syndicated from 1986to 2011 in Chicago. Oprah has been ranked the richest African-American, the greatest philanthropist in American history and North American first multi-billionaire black person. She has also been ranked as the most influential woman in the world. The ability rise from ashes and still move on makes women better leaders.

The exceptional communication skills of Indira Priyadarshini Gandhi made her become the first female prime minister of India. Women leadership in India was not accepted. But with her ability to communicate respectfully in a way that may relate to led her to become a successful and well-appreciated woman in leadership. She brought a sense of unity and purpose in the lives of the people of India (Knyszewski 2).Women`s ability to communicate with respect makes the great leaders as they create a sense of respect and appreciation.

The first lady of the world Anna Eleanor Roosevelt made remarkable work and achieved greatly in relation to human rights. She had admirable negotiation skills that led her to become a well known and appreciated American diplomat, activist, and politician. She fought endlessly for human rights. Marie Curie also was a successful physicist and chemist. Marie is the first woman throughout history to win a Nobel Prize. Her ability to move forward relentlessly, her perseverance and great curiosity are just but some of the characteristics that enabled her to become an exceptionally successful scientist and female leader. Marie`s work influenced the world of science. This is another indication that women`s curiosity and ability to press on make then great leaders.

Emotional stability is an important character that women hold. This character enables them to become great leaders. An exceptional example is Taylor Swift. The young musician has become one of the best-selling artists of all time. With her exceptional emotional stability, the world has seen her become hugely successful. Despite her humble beginning as an artist, Taylor is now a renowned artist due to her ability to express herself in a mature way through music. The ability of women to be humble yet show maturity enables them to become great leaders.

Over the years there has been the argument that women are better leaders than men. I strongly agree and support this motion. With remarkable traits such as respect, sense of maturity, humility, and ability to persevere women have become great leaders in the world representing different sectors globally.
