What do you think is the most significant barrier to female leadership?
Many women assume they can't be good mothers and have challenging careers at the same time, so they might give up trying to do both as they get to a crucial point in their career. Although it can be hard at times, it's important for women to recognize the benefits of working outside the home. Under the right circumstances, it can be great for the children and for the family overall. It's important for me to show my children the richness of life and be a role model. I find that my organizational and management skills are tested more at home than at work!

I think that the barrier has to do with familiarity. We are used to seeing men lead and so have an immediate confidence and comfort in what they might do, even if they are less qualified for a job. Men display less self-doubt and lead with what seems always like a sense of force and direction. We are not as familiar with women leaders and so we question their skills. As women, we always need to work harder to prove our competence.

What woman inspires you and why?
My Mother, as I trust her implicitly and know she will always be open and honest, and always has my best interests at heart.
Angela Ahrendts, CEO Burberry
What will be the biggest challenge for the generation of women behind you?
I still think that because there are less women leaders than men, we have a preconceived notion that male leadership is more effective than female leadership. That being said, it is a question of time. I believe that as more and more woman gain positions of leadership, it will become easier for generations ahead. The advantages of the feminine style of leadership will begin to outweigh the negative perceptions.

Ja bih na ovaj spisak dodala moju pokojnu tetku Gordanu. Da je živela u ta Amerika, sigurno bi završila na istom. Ovako je, na lokalnom nivou, oplemenila bukvalno svako biće s kojim je bila u kontaktu.
