Week #4 My final project

I would like to share topic for my final essay.

My topic is how women can success as leaders.


(This chart shows what percentage women are in leadership. http://careergirlnetwork.com/one-year-later-women-seen-change-pay-equity/)

The reason why I chose this topic is that I am interested what qualities are need for women to be leaders. Recently some CEO of famous companies such as Yahoo.com and Hewlett-Packard Development Company have been women. Moreover, chairperson of organization such as UNCHR and IMF have been women too. Historically, it was impossible for women to take higher post, but now although there are difficulties still, it become available to be leaders. I am wondering what makes them being like that, and if there is anything they have to give up. As examples, I would like to write about some CEOs and chairpersons.

In looking for some ideas for topic, I asked my grandfather for help. He met many leaders who were CEO of companies or who were in positions needed to lead organization. I asked him what does he thinks leaders need to have and who are "the" leaders for him.
Qualities leaders have to have, he answered, are firm belief that you do the right things as person and thoughtfulness. Moreover, it can say that leaders need to make others do right for the team.
And, leaders whom he thinks are "the" leaders are, he came up, Abraham Lincoln, Winston Churchill and Shigeru Yoshida, prime minister of Japan after the WWII in history but he said he knows a part of themselves. He said that "the" leaders are those who are enough to be respected not only what they have done but also personalities, so he raised some leaders whom he has worked with.
Finally, he suggested me that it is good to write about Margaret Thatcher because she is the leader who was outstanding in the world was the leader who was women as me.

I am excited to know what women leaders have done historically!
