The document discusses gender and leadership styles, noting that leadership styles cannot be generalized across all women. It provides examples of unique leadership styles among Maori women in New Zealand. While about half of women serve in mid-management positions in business, less than a third hold executive positions. The document suggests that in order to advance to higher positions, one must exercise leadership actions like achieving extraordinary outcomes and engaging others, with an emphasis on results. Respect, integrity and being goal-oriented are also traits of strong leaders.
