Women are Born Leaders

Interesting blog post from Nick Fontanilla about the growing influence of women "...women will, in more ways than one, change the contour of individual, political and economic power in the world...let me emphasize, however, that the growing influence and power of women versus men is not the issue. The major issue is that while before, they were not so actively participating in economic activities, they are, in the future, expected to contribute more to expand the pie and not just merely share in the pie. Despite the attendant social cost, the participation of women in economic activities should bring positive results.".

Someone gave me a key chain for a Christmas gift with a statement: "women are born leaders". How appropriate, I even attached it to my car key (note, I just learned and earned a driver's license this year!)-- I "drive"! Yeah!

Women are really born leaders, in a different sense of the word.

Leaders are resourceful - who doesn't have a mom who made ends meet given the scare family resources?

Leaders are peace makers - doesn't mom manage the chaotic household and softens the stubborn kids?

Leaders take control - doesn't a solo mom take on the responsibility of providing for her kids' needs when there is no husband to lean on?

Leaders are visionaries - doesn't a mom know a child's need or concerns even before they say it?

Leaders have followers - don't you see moms with kids trailing their walk in the mall? Or kids (and even dads) yield when mom says "No!"

Leaders are influencers - doesn't a wife manipulate, este, motivate the husband or children to achieve their best potential?

Last but not the least...

Leaders are servants - whoever has the servant's hands has the TRUE leader's heart,
whoever is the least is the first.

A woman who is humble enough to submit to authority or her husband is the true leader.

Moms...you rock!!!
