Judging from
title itself, you’re probably expecting a men-bashing article about kind of injustice that men cause women and about how women should learn how to hold their can of pepper spray in hand (facing right direction, of course, unless women plan to blind themselves) moment they catch a whiff of a MAN. Well….er, no. Not really.
I am here to explain and give some good examples of why and how women can do what they want to do in business and reap full benefits of structure that they have chosen to adopt. I want to encourage them and tell them that women can make good business owners.
Women in business are better in dealing with people, i.e, business will be better simply because of fact that women have higher levels of emotional intelligence (EI or EQ). What does emotional intelligence have to do with business? A whole lot, if you ask me. Let’s, first, define emotional intelligence in business context, shall we? EQ is defined quite loosely as ‘social skills and ambition or self/personal strength’. If a person have high EQ, he or she (staying safely on fence for now, until conclusion) is better able to deal with problems at work, better at finding solutions, is better able at controlling emotions and regaining strength after a down fall. They can communicate better with others, winning them brownie points easily, in terms of bringing in business.
It seems that a person with high EQ (man or woman) is 67% more likely to be successful in business. And considering fact that women, generally speaking, have higher EQs, we can safely say that they are better as business people.
In order to be successful in business, you need 1/3 of IQ, 1/3 of social skills and 1/3 of drive and ambition.
And here’s another reason why I think women are better business people. According to Millionaire Mind, ‘being honest with people’ and ‘getting along with people’ is ranked #1 and #3 as needed ingredients for becoming a millionaire. And isn’t it a coincidence that women have both these skills as naturally as they come.
