How to Read this Blog
To read and underatnd this blog you must start at the top and work your way down. Start with Case in Point: Oprah, then Famous Women Executives, the Glass Ceiling, Women and Men as Executives, Pink and Blue Leadership Styles, and finally the annotated bibliography. For some reason it wouldn't let me format the annotated bibliography properly, but there is a copy of the bibliogrpahy formatted the right way in my folder.
Case in Point: Oprah

Pink and Blue Leadership Styles

This idea of pink leadership styles versus blue leadership styles became very interesting and appealing to me. As much as women are commonly linked to the pink leadership style and men to the blue, depending on the job one of these is more suitable than the other. For instance, a woman of higher rank in the military would need to possess the blue leadership style to assert authority and gain respect from their peers. On the other hand the pink leadership style would need to be used for such occupations as nursing or teaching, to be able to relate to their patients or students in a nurturing way. On the opposite end of the spectrum, a male nurse would probably need to posses the pink leadership style in nursing and the blue leadership style in the military. Certain jobs require different leadership styles and it isn’t always based on gender. Overall women show to be as good of leaders as men, even while adopting different methods along the way. Some of the most successful people in the world are women and credit should be given to all of them.
