Evidence has mounted that if you are a woman, then statistically speaking, your natural, authentic leadership style is working just fine. Yet women try to be more like men, while men are unencumbered by such thoughts, and get ahead simply by being themselves. Can you imagine a male chief executive rising to the top job by pretending to be someone other than who he is?

If you are a woman and want to be a better manager, don't try to lead more like a man. Lead like a strong woman, with confidence and backbone.

Females: Superior by Choice, Design and Default

In the beginning there were no sexes and reproduction was by binary fission or 'Swayambhu'. Then some bacteria indulged in sex. A Good Samaritan bacterium (Pardukhbhanjan) on coming across a distressed bacterium with damaged DNA, injected a spare copy of intact DNA into the sick one via a temporarily erected passage, to restore and replenish the sick one's genes. That is how sex began before gender. As Lynn Margulis has proposed and is now generally accepted, once upon a time a bacterium swallowed a chloroplast and another a mitochondrium. Lo and behold, instead of digesting the swallowed creature, the two organisms decided to live symbiotically and maybe this was the first marriage without sex, but with no recourse to divorce.
