If you are female, you need to read this post by Justine Musk.
"A strategic woman, a powerful woman, is a brilliantly disruptive woman.
She’s dangerous."
"A powerful man falls into the category of powerful men.
A powerful woman creates (still!) her own category.
She is by her very nature a challenger and a rebel.
She has to defy the ingrained gender norms which encourage a woman to be good…but not great.
To be bright…but not brilliant.
To be creative…but not disruptive or innovative.
To play the game…but not to change it.
To play by the rules…instead of shifting the battlefield, to where she can make new rules."
