權(quán)力對(duì)女性到底意味著什么
????今年大家最關(guān)注的兩位最具影響力女性人物也已經(jīng)學(xué)會(huì)主宰自己的權(quán)力。IBM的首席執(zhí)行官羅曼提在今年最新的榜單上名列榜首。她在去年的最具影響力女性峰會(huì)上坦承,在早期職業(yè)生涯中,有一次老板曾經(jīng)給她升職的機(jī)會(huì),但她卻告訴老板自己并沒有準(zhǔn)備好。而提點(diǎn)她的人就是自己的先生,他問:“你認(rèn)為有哪個(gè)男性會(huì)像你那樣回絕嗎?”羅梅蒂最終接受了升職。???? ????而在今年的《財(cái)富》MPW排名中一舉跳升至第14位的是雅虎(Yahoo)新任首席執(zhí)行官瑪麗莎?梅耶爾。在7月份接受新職務(wù)之后,這位谷歌前任高管向《財(cái)富》透露:“我懷孕了?!眮?lái)自威斯康星州沃索市的梅耶爾自稱是“書呆子”。她不僅是“最具影響力女性”榜單有史以來(lái)的最年輕上榜者,也是財(cái)富美國(guó)500強(qiáng)中最年輕的CEO,同時(shí)還是在懷孕時(shí)開始擔(dān)任500強(qiáng)CEO的第一人。 ????雅虎的董事會(huì)歡迎這樣一位(因?yàn)閼言卸┟媾R生活方面的復(fù)雜挑戰(zhàn)的女掌門,而外界對(duì)她懷孕的信息也以正面反應(yīng)為主,這都昭示著在女性權(quán)力方面的進(jìn)步。 ????確實(shí),權(quán)力在演化。梅耶爾的故事讓我想到一個(gè)我能欣然接受的權(quán)力定義:真正的權(quán)力是個(gè)人化的權(quán)力。它還包含你在工作職責(zé)和頭銜之外的生活的方方面面。真正的權(quán)力就在于你如何面對(duì)生活的全部。 |
????This year, the spotlight shines on two MPW who also have learned to own their power. IBM (IBM) CEO Ginni Rometty, Fortune's new No. 1 on the list, admitted at last year's Most Powerful Women Summit that early in her career when a boss offered her a promotion, she told him that she didn't feel ready. Actually, her husband gave her the "aha moment": "Do you think a man would have ever answered that question that way?" he asked her. Rometty accepted the promotion. ????And vaulting up this year'sFortuneMPW rankings, toNo. 14: Marissa Mayer. In July, after accepting the CEO job at Yahoo (YHOO), the former Google (GOOG) executive revealed toFortune: "I'm pregnant." A self-described shy "nerd" from Wausau, Wisconsin, Mayer is not only the youngest woman ever to make the MPW list. At 37, she is also the youngest CEO of a Fortune 500company and the first to assume that top job pregnant. ????The fact that the Yahoo board -- and the world, which reacted mostly positively --welcomes a female chief with a complicated life is progress. ????Yes, Power is evolving. Mayer's story evokes the definition of power that I've come to embrace: Real power is personal power. It's what you do and what you have beyond your job description and your tenure. Real power is what you do with your full life. |
