Question

2.Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn’t have what it takes.’ They will say, ‘Women don’t have what it takes.’ Clare Boothe Luce a) To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement? not more than 200 words

b) What challenges, if any, do women face when in leadership positions? not more than 400 words

Answer 1

a). We could see that in the statement, she states that if she fails on something she wants to do, then society would generalize that the women don't possess the potential to do so. Here, we can see how society looks upon the efforts made by an individual as an opportunity to strike against the whole womanhood itself. We may think that does it usually happens in the real world or is just a silly argument or complaint raised by an individual. But, to a far extend we could say that society still shows the badge of male domination and exploits opportunities to harass women. Ours is a developing society, which is slowly realizing the need for equal rights and opportunities. Necessary steps are taken by the pillars of society to fight against inequality and stereotype. In a manner, we should agree to the statement, but we also shouldn't neglect the current success we have achieved.

b). Nowadays the majority of the women try to come out of their safe zones. Women are the precious group of the economy and they possess qualities like braveness, confidentiality, adaptability, etc. Leadership quality is one of the major quality and it makes women more popular in many fields. The leadership position is something that includes elements like a corporation, delegation, communication, etc. Women are the best category that fits this description. However still in this century, women are the main group that faces many challenges. Leadership is the most targeted position of every woman to showcase her talents. But this includes many more challenges. 1. Women should keep higher standards of performance than men. Because usually they must be compared with men.   

2. Adaptability and Risk-Taking is another one. Willingness to change is one of the major elements of every leader. Usually, there is a concept that women don't try to take risks. So every woman leader should prove this by taking various challenging situations.   

3. Technological Advancement is another challenge. That means every woman should be updated with the latest technology in the industry.

4. Maintaining a network is a major thing that a woman leader must possess. It means women have to manage many roles within society than men. So their social networking should be effectively maintained to become a popular leader.   

5. Equality maintenance is another one. It means a women leader will not treat thee women group especially. Because it may lead to unhealthy feminism and society may overlook it. So equality treatment is a special character.

6. Effective Communication is the main thing that the leader must take care of. That only through effective communication she can satisfy her employees and it only creates a sisterhood affection among the leader.   

7. Confidence is a major problem of every woman leader.confidence of a woman is a questioned factor. So its a challenging factor and only through this she can improve the overall performance and growth of her organization.
