How do women influence their subordinates?
Abstract
Lecturer in the Department of Management at the University of Newcastle, Australia, Tricia Vilkinas surveyed successful women in the Australian health service and compared their power bases with women in business in Australia and in banking in America. She found that the women health administrators see their competence as crucial, and more important to their success than luck or being well‐liked. They also rely more on their expertise than on their status to manage staff. Her study also suggests that the staff they manage may differ, or may react differently, than staff managed by men.
