Leading by influence

Are there any gender differences in the power of persuasion?

Forbes published its 100 list of most influential women. This list includes Chief Executive Officers who run countries, corporations and non-profits.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel heads the list as she leads the fourth largest economic power.

  1. Do you find any similarities among these women leaders?
  2. What are the differences with their male counterparts?
  3. What makes a man or woman influential?
  4. Are there any gender differences in the power of persuasion and influence?
