Mother Teresa

Numerous articles I have read say, "How can one woman do all of this greatness?" To me, this shows how people can easily create sterotypes that women are not capable of of achieving what Mother Teresa did. She is among the most facisnating and highly respected women in the 20th century. Mother Teresa was devoted to saving lives through sheer determination. The qualities shown through her leadership styles are just shocking. There are not many other women who have achieved such things. She did this through passion and focus. When Mother Teresa was 79 years old she was told by doctors to take it easy because of her heart condition. She explained that what was the utmost importance was not her health, it was taking care of what she had started and making sure she did all she could to save people's lives. Mother Teresa was anexceptional leader who exhibited charisma and could inspire people on her team to motivate their self-interests to achieve the visioin. Following her actions, women in the workforce should study Mother Teresa's leadership style and begin to develop their own style to help shatter the glass ceiling.

  1. I agree with you in regards to the fact that Mother Teresa was an inspirational leader especially in a time when women leaders were considered either scarce or up in coming. What kind of leader would you describe her as? Transformational? Authentic?
