Women in leadership positions
Recently I have been focusing on leadership and women taking leadership opportunities, and there is a TED talk you must see about it. As I am focusing on business more and more I have seen the trend where men take leadership roles more than women. In fact in my MB 590 case studies class we were split into groups and only one woman is leader (granted there only three groups, but even last year we had one women be group leader and the rest of the groups had men as leaders and there were 6 team last year). We don't take that opportunity as often as we should. I finally decided to step it up. I volunteered to lead my group for MBA 585 class for our case study in that class. I need to be confident and know that I can take on the responsibility. I have to be a risk taker and at the same time I have to be a risk manager. Anyway I was browsing through the website of my case study company called Humacyte, and guess what!!...The people running the company are mostly women. In fact there are 5 women and 1 man: http://www.humacyte.com/pages/profile/leadership.shtml
If you are a women or even a man, but definitely if you are a woman you should watch this TED video: http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/eng/sheryl_sandberg_why_we_have_too_few_women_leaders.html
Its so fascinating. Perception of women in leadership positions need to change. Let our generation be the one to change it!

An Interesting story about women as sources in media
http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=17370252
This NPR report was very interesting to me. It talks about how woman can't act arrogant and narcissistic enough, and therefore are not able be authoritative without being called a "bitch". They continue to say that women put men in front of them, and other women, but never themselves. The male source for this story talked about how woman shouldn't care what people think of them. He said let people call you whatever just do what you need to do succeed. A lot of qualified women end up being middle management, but the ones who are arrogant and narcissistic end up getting what they need such as a grant or a high paying top level job.
Needless to say I want a good job. I want the high paying top level job. So I guess I need to act a bit more like a man and less like a woman.

Tribute to my Great Aunt
My great aunt was an amazing woman. She was very clearly an important member of our family. It is a very sad loss. Here is a picture I took of her when I visited India May 2009.
