When I think about the characteristics of strong women leaders, I think of two people: my daughter and my sister. They’ve both inspired me in so many ways, and I hope that one day I’ll be as fearless as they are. Strong female leaders get things done!
My sister has always had a go-get-em attitude. In fact, she broke the mold at her corporation by starting out as an administrative assistant and working her way into the high-level management position she holds now. Moving out of administration into a different role had never been done before, and was considered an impossibility, but my sister knew what she wanted, knew she was valuable and made it happen.
She’s the epitome of a strong woman, but she’s strong without being a you know what. She’s the opposite actually – a ray of sunshine.
