In the XIX century women's equality. In the twentieth century - fought against discrimination in the workplace. Suffrage, the fight against sexual harassment, feminism and equality in the workplace - of course, women have achieved much. But before this "justice" and full equality is still far. Everyone who will dare to say otherwise would be or a starry-eyed idealist, or a woman.

But this "glass ceiling" limiting the rights of women, there is a reason. The fact is that if one day he disappeared, and career women was nothing to prevent the development of the world economy simply ceased to be. And it will not be easy to collapse, which we are experiencing today, and a disaster of apocalyptic proportions. The fact that women simply can not lead. The business world is arranged in such a way that women achieve success in it virtually impossible. So, why women can not stay long in leadership positions?

Women are not able to control their emotions

If you've worked with women, you probably visited by a strange feeling, as if you were in school again: you're constantly on edge, nervous look back and flinch at every sound. In short, you can not relax for a minute. But why?! Because a woman endowed with even a minimum of power, treats his subordinates as friends or lovers - it takes everything too personally, at his own expense. Women are not able to control their emotions, rather, turn them off, which naturally affects the others.

One of the most important factors for career success - calmness, composure and self-control, that is, quality, completely uncharacteristic, even the most successful women. Do not believe me? Compare the history of Benazir Bhutto and the Dalai Lama. Despite warnings about the dangers of waiting at home, Bhutto could not resist the urge to go home to his people, and was killed. Why would she do that? Of course, it can not be blamed Bhutto in her own murder, but the decision to follow his heart no matter Bhutto good, that's for sure. But the Dalai Lama has been living in exile, far from their homeland, and works for the benefit of its people. Sure, he, too, would like to return home, but he knows what awaits him on his return, and is not going to be led by their desires.

Women disparage female subordinates

Get promoted, women are particularly suspicious and intolerant towards their colleagues and subordinates-women .  Obviously, women leaders believe that other representatives of the fair sex and mark their place, and weave .  Incidentally, research found that 40% of all workplace scandals provoked women .  At first glance, it seems that 40% - not the biggest percentage, but if you remember that the percentage of women in managerial positions is not more than 20% . It turns out that women protect their work and career achievements with an incredible zeal and ready for this for any intrigue .  As the cocky bully at school, to offend kids and takes money away from weak boys, female boss feels the need for constant approval of his authority by the humiliation of female subordinates .  If a female boss were confident in their competence, they really were such a bitch? Hardly .

Business - masculine occupation

Business - traditionally male territory, where the game is played on a hard men's rules. Despite all the talk about the struggle for equality, men still retain the leadership in most areas of life, and particularly in the fight career. Transactions are still held together by a strong masculine handshake after copious libations in a dimly lit bar in the company of half-naked beauties. Compete with men in the brutal world of business woman can only when will be like a man when he can develop the male qualities.

An example of Hillary Clinton

According to numerous testimonies, in his youth, Hillary Clinton was the one more little thing. Well, it was the hippies Hippie style: create your own world   and a fighter for peace, but a very attractive fighter. Probably not his thirst for justice and the knowledge it has attracted well-known ladies' man Bill. But starting a political career, she was forced to quickly get rid of the natural feminine softness and an uncompromising to play by men's rules. And she was able to succeed. But now all indicators Hillary Clinton - a real man. Only in a skirt. The same can be said of Margaret Thatcher - or why it was nicknamed "the Iron Lady"?

Women vindictive

If you could ask an angry woman that she was so angry, it will almost certainly be able to give a precise answer. She remembers every detail. Women have a real talent will never forget the offense, even the most minor and involuntary, which makes the unbearable leaders. In the business world has to put up with every day undeserved insults, failed transactions, outstanding liabilities and mistakes - it's just inevitable. And if a man learns from mistakes - both its own and other people's - that woman often perceives them as a personal insult. This attitude female chief applies to all its employees. Women are able to sue a competitor for what suspect in the scornful attitude (which is irrational and indecent). Women, like stubborn children, often caused them to dwell on insults (often imagined), and do not go forward.

A female boss

Led the company or its branch - all the same that lead troops, to lead them into battle. It faces certain goals, she will win the battle, but this requires determination, leadership and respect of subordinates. Women are simply unable to call men respect this kind (about Joan of Arc are not talking) - for the reasons described above.
