In Your Loneliness While I am addressing women in leadership positions, I want to mention the problem of loneliness. The called woman is a lonely woman. Loneliness is part of the lot for a leader, male or female. The higher one goes, the lonelier it gets. But, with few exceptions, it is lonelier for a woman than for a man.
Men have each other.
The woman usually stands alone. Too many people make leadership a competition, but women should not try to compete with men. There is so much work to do that there is plenty to go around for everybody. The main thing, as T.F. Tenney says, is to keep the main thing the main thing. And the main thing is to make sure our spirit stays sweet and our attitude right.
