It is a fact that listening and empathizing are qualities that are inherent to a woman’s personality. Organisations are leveraging these very strengths and more by exploring their potential to the fullest.
There has been a great attitude shift from the times when women were forced to emulate men in order to get noticed. In the past women succeeded only by emulating the qualities and characteristics associated with their male counterparts. The new generation of women, instead of adopting the approach and techniques that have proven successful for men, is now drawing on their own skills and attributes they developed over the ages. And the traditional female qualities are assets in today’s business climate. Now,the traditionally womanly qualities have today given way to the go getter and emotionally strong women. A woman brings much more than softness, empathy and compassion to the work place.
Women are emotionally strong and with the prevailing fitness culture, they are strong physically too. This translates into stress-busting capacity that allows the woman to deal with tough situations in a calm manner, taking things in their stride and getting the team to follow. Women are also great at multi tasking, organizing and efficiently managing time and people. They bring in strong ethical values into the ecosystem, thus building the culture of the team. Women also add stability to the environment with their loyal and committed work style. Women are undoubtedly a great asset and strength to any organization or team. They bring to team such vibrancy and enthusiasm. They tend to retain their calm under challenging scenarios and usually have a positive outlook at things. Women are characteristically more empathetic and compassionate and this is critical to team building and Management. Most importantly woman employees are more patient and do not give up on things easily.
Thus, the very qualities that were earlier held against women and used as weapons to discriminate against their capability are today appreciated and revered at work places.
