SUMMARY

If you want to focus on women as an asset to your business, then look at what women can actually do really well that male leaders struggle with:

• Link [rather than rank] workers;
• favor interactive-collaborative leadership style [empowerment beats top-down decision making];
• sustain fruitful collaborations;
• comfortable with sharing information;
• see redistribution of power as victory, not surrender;
• favor multi-dimensional feedback;
• value technical & interpersonal skills, individual & group contributions equally;
• readily accept ambiguity;
• honor intuition as well as pure "rationality"
• inherently flexible;
• appreciate cultural diversity.

Includes commentary from members of the PHARMA-MKTING online discussion group plus real-life experiences of women in pharma sales and marketing.
