介绍： Sex in the boardroom
《经济学人》深度好文——女性的领导力或比男性更强（2）

Those who say women are better suited to taking charge of today’s companies also lean on two other arguments.The first is that women are better at“androgynous”management-that is,combining supposedly“male”and“female”characteristics into a powerful mixture.The second is that women differ from men not so much in their leadership style as in the values that they bring to the job.They are much more influenced by compassion and fairness than men.

That leads to the second consideration:that both male and female managers are perfectly capable of adapting their leadership styles to meet changing circumstances.Male managers are increasingly embracing a collaborative approach to leadership,as they adapt to a society that has become less deferential.Someone has concluded that:“Men and women don’t have different styles of leadership.”

那些认为女性更适合掌管当今企业的人还依赖另两个观点。首先是女性更擅长“中性化”管理，即把一般认为属于“男性”或“女性”的特征合并成一种强大的混合物。其次，女性和男性在给他们的工作带来价值上的差异要多于他们在领导风格上的差异。同情心和公平公正对女性的影响远多于对男性的影响。

这就导向了第二种考察：男性和女性主管都很善于调整自己的领导风格来适应变化的环境。男性主管正在适应一个不再那么讲究恭敬顺从的社会，他们越来越多地采纳协作的领导方式。有人总结道：“男性和女性的领导风格并无不同。”
