1. WOMEN MAKE BETTER LEADERS THAN MEN – GOVERNMENT
Reaffirm case – Women make better leades than men
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr speaker of the House, therespected panel of judges, theever-precise
timekeeper, my worthyopponents, ladies and gentlemen, members of the parliament, goodmorning to
all. The motion of the debate today is “Science is a threat to humanity”. We, the government, firmly and
whole-heartedly believe in today’s motion and we will prove to you beyond doubt on this issue.
Permit me now to define the keywords of themotion.According to the Oxford English dictionary and
thesaurus, “women” refers to an adult human female, a female. The word “leader” can be defined as
the person who leads or commands a group, organization, or country.
Before I proceed with my line of contention,allow me to specify our roles for today. As thePrime
Minister of the government bench I bringforth the point, “science introduces harmful new
relationships”. Then, my deputy primeminister will put forward two points which are “science
manipulates life” and “science enables much greater destruction”. The third minister will then rebutall
the points out forward by the opposition andconvince to you of our stand today.
Mr. speaker on to my first point now
But what interested me is how these terms echo other misperceptions about women floating around
the public sphere. In fact they tally with a great piece that Jenna Goudreau wrote last month on the
worst stereotypes about female bosses. Powerful women are perceived as being icy, tough, weak,
emotional, single and lonely, and having a whole lot of other toxic conflicting attributes. Maybe they
represent conventional anxieties about women on a broad scale.
Yet for many of the women who reach the top, the reality is far different
And it’s not just me. The German newspaper Der Spiegel has reported that the French have more
confidence in Merkel than they have in Sarkozy, according to a survey conducted by Le Parisien.
Plenty of other women fare well in the public eye. Earlier this year, a Gallup poll showed that Hillary
Clinton‘s approval ratings are higher than ever at 66%. Of course this may be because, as Gallup says,
the secretary of state position that she occupies “is somewhat above the fray of partisan politics.” But
the fact remains: she’s doing a great job.
Both of these leaders are in politics, not business, and as Moira Forbes pointed out lately, business
remains the realm where the glass ceilings are most intact. This is a pity since research shows that
“strong market growth among European companies is most likely to occur where there is a higher
proportion of women in senior management teams.” Firms with more women on their boards
“outperform their rivals with a 42% higher return on sales, 66% higher return on invested capital and
53% higher return on equity.” Other research has found that teams which involve women are more
intelligent than teams made up of men alone.

3. Leaders must have a vision (which they communicate to their team). Think of Merkel on Europe: “The
world is watching Germany and Europe. They are looking to see if we are ready and able to assume our
responsibilities during Europe’s worst crisis since the end of World War II.”
4. Perspective: Women look at problems differently. They make up half the population and reflect the
consumer interests, dreams and desires of that population. “The best teams are made up of a different
mixture of skills and backgrounds which bring spark and innovation to organizations,” writes Sylvian
Perrins in the Financial Times.
5. Maturity: Right after the financial crisis this value sprang up from nowhere. All of a sudden, risk
awareness and caution became treasured characteristics. When Iceland went broke and got rid of its
male leader, the new female premier was seen as cleaning up the men’s mess. The ability to think long-
term came to be seen as a specifically feminine trait.
Out of over 250 countries, only a few are currently headed by women.[1] Women still account for only
about 14% of members of parliament worldwide in 2002.[2] Some argue that gender quotas should be
established to ensure equal input of men and women in parliament. Therefore, the feminist movement
is still needed to fight this battle.
Woman still hold lower position in business, the legal profession and in the world of politics. It is
therefore hard to argue that the glass ceiling has disintegrated. Until women hold higher positions in
these fields the feminist cause has still not achieved its goals- in seeking to create a world where,
amongst other things women can advance up the ladder in their career without being blocked by a glass
ceiling and held back in lower positions.
Father’s also do not have the right to take time off work to attend antenatal classes, this allowance is for
pregnant employees only. The feminist cause still has this issue to resolve. Until paternity leave is
offered an employer can safely assume that a woman will be the partner to burden the care of the child
and the employer will be the one to bear these costs of maternity leave. This gives men an unfair
advantage in the workplace as they are a “safer bet” for employment.
Talented and confident women leaders have seven characteristics in common:
1);

3. 3) they are comfortable with diversity, having been outsiders themselves and knowing what kind of
value fresh eyes could bring;
4) they are unwilling (and unable) to compartmentalize their lives and so draw upon personal
experience to bring private sphere information and insights to their jobs;
5) they are sceptical of hierarchies and surprisingly disdainful of the perks and privileges that distinguish
hierarchical leaders and establish their place in the pecking order;
6) they preferred leading from the centre rather than the top and structure their organizations to reflect
this; and
7) they ask big-picture questions about the work they do and its value.
1. Communication:
Communication is always the key to effective leadership. Harvard Business School professor, Nitin
Nohria told that every time the good leaders will always spend lot of time in communicating. Usually
women make better verbal communication by discussing their thoughts. Communication helps in easier
control and co-ordination of business activities, it helps in successful decision making etc. These factors
will always not only for leaders but for all the professionals.
Have a Vision:
If you desire to become a leader, you must always have a vision which a leader must communicate with
an employee. The very essence of a good leader is to have a vision. Developing a vision s not an easier
task, a leader must be capable of developing a vision into reality. For making it work, a leader must be
capable in directing their juniors towards success. The leadership always goes beyond organization's
mission statement. The vision is manifested in the action, values and goals of your organization's
leaders.
Dedication and openness:
To be successful good leader, spending time and energy is necessary to accomplish the task. The leader
must be dedicated to what ever the work takes to complete it. A leader must also develop the quality of
openness to listen to new ideas; they must be open to accept new ways of doing things. Openness helps
in building mutual respect and trust between leaders and followers.

5. We cannot deny that science has led to a better and luxurious life, but then again, science created more
problems to be solved. Therefore, I strongly believe and would like to reaffirm our stand here today that
is, “science is a threat to humanity” as we want to prevent humans from crossing the morality boundary.
With that, I bid to propose.
Thank you.
