Pink and Blue Leadership Styles

                                               Women in the Military (Google Images)

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.
