《经济学人》深度好文——女性的领导力或比男性更强（1）

ONE by one,the glittering prizes are falling to women.General Motors,IBM,PepsiCo,Lockheed Martin and DuPont are among a couple of dozen giant American companies with female bosses.Oxford University is about to follow the footsteps of Harvard and appoint its first female leader.Women still have an enormous way to go:the New York Times points out that more big American firms are run by men called John than by women.But the trend is clear:women now make up more than 50%of university graduates and of new hires by big employers.

Will this growing cadre of female bosses manage any differently from men?Forty years ago feminists would have found the very question demanding.Pioneers such as Margaret Thatcher argued that women could and would do the same job as men,if given a chance.But today some management scholars argue that women excel in the leadership qualities most valued in modern firms.

一个接一个，闪耀的光环正好落在了女性头上。通用汽车、IBM、百事、洛克希德·马丁和杜邦等几十家美国巨头企业的现任老板都是女性。牛津大学即将跟随哈佛大学的脚步，任命第一位女校长。但女性仍然有很长的路要走：据《纽约时报》指出，美国的大公司中，光是叫约翰的男老板就比女老板的总数多。但趋势一目了然：在大学毕业生和大公司新聘的职员中，女性人数已经超过一半。

由女老板组成的骨干队伍在不断壮大。她们对企业的管理与男性会有任何不同吗？40年前，女权主义者会觉得这样的问题很贬低人。玛格丽特撒切尔这类先锋曾主张，如果给予女性机会，她们能胜任也愿意做与男性同样的工作。但今天，一些管理学者认为，在现代企业最为重视的领袖特质上，女性更胜一筹。
