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.

Food for thought:

  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?
