However, in an industry where clients pick your pitch before handing over millions of dollars in the belief that they'll get returns, rapturous reverence for your job is only one requirement for great leadership. When you're in charge of a company that originates ideas from temperamental creatives and sells them while they're still as intangible as air, you not only need to know everything about the beast you're dealing with, you have to be able to encourage it, lay it down, and make it obey.

Schools Face Shortage of Male Teachers

Four out of five newly-recruited teachers at middle and high schools this year are women, accounting for about 80 percent of the total.

The female dominance is expected to accelerate due to a shortage of male teachers at secondary schools as well as primary schools, having a negative effect on school education.

According to the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development, 4,343 women have been hired as teachers, accounting for 80.3 percent of 5,409 new teachers.

However, new male teachers represent just 19.7 percent or 1,066.

It is the first time for newly-recruited women teachers to surpass 80 percent at middle and high schools this year, higher than the ratio of new female teachers at elementary schools.
