AB  - As part of a more extensive study designed to establish the
characteristics of women who have succeeded in the male‐dominated world
of management and entrepreneurship three questionnaires were used to
assess gender identity, creative style and political style. These
characteristics are thought to have a fundamental influence upon the
career behaviour of women. Three main objectives are put forward: first,
to present a number of ideas about the possible political style,
creative style and gender identity of women managers and entrepreneurs;
secondly, to present a discussion of the findings and their significance
in relation to the behaviour of women at work and, finally, to attempt
to illustrate that all three measures identify a common characteristic,
that is, “independence of thought” which it is suggested may
be essential for women operating in the male‐dominated world of work.
