Women, Empathy and Leadership

When women talk about exerting power or flexing their collective might by coming together, the assumptions are different according to norms set by society. Women have led almost a third of the world’s countries and around the globe, women are gaining unprecedented power and an empathetic sense of leadership. Remember the empathetic leadership of Mother Teresa, Sarojini Naidu, Florence Nightingale, Helen Keller or your Mother.
