6 Qualities that makes a Women successful in Business

There are many attributes that women possess, but I want to share with you 6 fundamental points cited in Entrepreneur.com/ article/296688 (2017) that show with statistics the areas of greater capacity that women possess, and that empower them towards business success in comparison with man.

According to experts, these are some of the reasons that make us successful in business areas where men previously dominated:

1. The ability to take calculated risks - While men and women are equally willing to take risks, studies from the Entrepreneurship

Center found that, compared to their male counterparts, women take calculated risks. 87% of women take smart financial risks (those in which the assessment of the situation is completer and more realistic), compared to 73% of men.

2. Perseverance - Businesswomen are used to facing more obstacles: unfair remuneration in relation to their co-workers, double standards comparisons, among others. This means that they have a higher level of tolerance and therefore perseverance.

3. The long-term projection - Women generally have a longterm vision of projects. Long-term positive impacts are more important to them than immediate benefits. Men focus on the immediate things and ignore the long-term impact.

4. The ability to separate your ego from the success or failure of the company - According to one study, men are more likely to overestimate their success and financial growth, because they see it as an extension of their personality. While women have a more realistic view of the situation, because they manage to separate their self-esteem from the results obtained by their company.

5. Her great sense of collaboration - Women tend to empathize rather than systematize: by dominating in sectors that require large personal interactions, women can capitalize on their collaborative capacities. Collaboration and empathy skills help women to be better leaders and teammates. As a result, they tend to be more attentive to the needs, aspirations, and personal lives of their employees, leading to lower turnover rates, higher job satisfaction, and increased employee productivity.

6. Her empathy - The inherent female maternal spirit leads women to build businesses that offer value to all stakeholders: employees, customers, investors, suppliers. The welfare of the person is always above his obligations as an employee. That is why companies led by women suffer fewer turnover rates than those led by men: employees generally feel more cared for and personally valued.

As you can see, what was used to make us be seen as weak and incompetent for leadership and entrepreneurship functions, today have become our greatest areas of strength. We know it is a challenge, but we are ready to face the Risks, knowing that we are a gift for humanity. So the invitation is to raise our voices and continue the legacy that has been given to us as Brave, Effortless, Determined and Firm women in what we have believed and in what we know we have been called to do in this world that we have had to live.
