Irene Rosenfeld CEO of Kraft Foods

http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/business/movers_and_shakers/article6999118.ece This article is a great example of what chapter 13 women and leadership tries to explain which is Women can be just as effective of a leader as a man. The only difference that chapter 13 makes between male and female leadership is that women tend to have a more democratic or participative leadership style then men. This article shows that Irene was able to be a great leader and go head to head with Warren Buffet over the acquisition Kraft wanted to make of Cadbury. Buffet is Kraft's biggest shareholder and felt that the acquisition was not the right thing for the company, but Irene felt that the acquisition was the best for the company and so she went ahead and did it even though it was very expensive for Kraft. Even in the face of disagreement Irene was able to make the right decision for Kraft and lead her company to further success.
