Editor's Notes
- She is the most powerful woman leader in the world
- Born Angela Dorothea Kasner in 1954 in Hamburg, West Germany. She grew up in the countryside north of East Berlin after her father moved the family across the frontier in 1954 just a few weeks after she was born. She is married to Joachim Sauer quantum chemist professor ; she has no children but Sauer has two sons from a previous marriage.
- tT is often said that Angela Merkel is the most powerful woman in the world. She is probably also the most powerful figure in the history of the European Union. She has been German chancellor for a decade. And yet, despite having so much power for so long,
- Helmet kohl which he was he mentor also he mentioned merkel her daughter so many times.!
- , Merkel took office as chancellor, becoming the first woman, the first East German, and, at age 51, Merkel’s second term was largely characterized by her personal role in the response to the euro-zone debt crisis. Along with French Pres. Nicolas Sarkozy, Merkel championed austerity as the path to recovery for Europe’s damaged economies. Merkel’s most-visible success in that arena was the entry into force in January 2013 of a fiscal compact that bound signatory governments to operate within specific balanced-budget benchmarks.
- But what are her trait approach that makes her powerful leader? High IQ and EQ
- Also she is an introvert so she doesn't show that much emotion however, she always insure that she has an appropriate emotion expression to the special occasion She dress neatly and in a functional business manner which is essential for woman in a such high leadership position
- She doesn't consider her self as feminist but she does care about women rights and she supports woman rights considerably
- Leadership matrix she is considered as middle of the road management ( when it come to compromise how ever she is authoritarian because she has heavy emphasize on tasks that is why she has situational leader ship style .be comes ruthless Merkel is well knowing for her understands U-turns in policy for instance in her early chancellor years she was a proponent of nuclear energy, despite fierce opposition to this idea by the green party. However, after the nuclear disaster in Fukoshima in 2011, she changes her stance, abandoned the nuclear program and Germany is now one of the leader in the EU in using renewable energy .
- She is both pragmatic and methodical. You don’t become the longest serving elected female head of government in the history of European politics by accident. Her mindset is one of a person who believes strongly in moving forward at all times. She clearly prefers seeking structure over embracing chaos. She stays away from risky decisions. Most of Merkel’s most successful political maneuvers have come out of the fact that she never makes a risky decision. Everything about the decision is first weighed very carefully. If it still comes out to be a risky decision, she simply avoids it. She seeks the middle ground. While remaining committed to her own political ideals, Merkel has repeatedly displayed a capacity to nonetheless embrace and absorb many of the policies and opinions of political opponents. The result is a strong middle ground that really does incorporate the best of all viewpoints. She plays her plans close to the chest, revealing nothing while accomplishing everything. While it may seem like Merkel is publically responding to political matters with vagueness and seemingly unrelated anecdotes, she is actually accomplishing everything she set out to do behind the scenes. She’s ruthless, even with members of her own political party. Merkel isn’t afraid to bring down someone in her own party to get what she wants
- Her strategy to solve euro crisis and national economy is not fruitful for every country. Her ideas are so brilliant. However, they can’t pleased the people of all community and union She is rational than emotional. Merkel only thinks about Germany rather than the whole Europe. She talks little and don’t provide any information to citizens during the crisis. ( she likes as a chess player and she plays very quietly ). The ongoing refugee crisis, which has left the EU struggling come up with a solution to cope with the biggest influx of migrants to the continent since the Second World War.
- I do respect for her because she is a scientist woman who play essential role in politics but it doesn't mean that if she is has very high both IQ and EQ all her decisions are rights !
