Recently, Hu Jiajia, chairman of Metersbonwe, was dismissed due to a loss of 3.2 billion yuan in the company, and was re-taken over by his father Zhou Jiancheng. This is just one example, almost all well-known businesses have fallen into trouble after a woman took over. For example, Great Wall Motors, after his adopted daughter Wei Zihan took over, launched women's boxing models such as Forgiveness Green, which caused dissatisfaction among mainstream customers and a sharp decline in sales. After Country Garden was handed over to Yang Huiyan, it fell into the predicament of high debt, no longer actively engaged in land reserves, and even transferred assets through donations. Under the leadership of Zhu Jianghong, Gree Electric became the leader of China's home appliance market, but once it was handed over to Dong Mingzhu, it quickly lost its market position, and even lost the first position in the air conditioning market. In addition to these cases, in the field of diversification, women take over companies that not only fail to invest, but also pass on personal losses to the company. After New Hope Group was handed over to Liu Chang, its performance declined further, and recently it was hit by serious losses and huge debts. These situations are not limited to China, but also exist in other countries. Disney, a powerful company, once taken over by a female CEO, launched a series of unpopular films, such as "The Mermaid" featuring black actors, and "Snow White" starring also black actors. As a result, the box office was dismal and suffered serious losses.
So why do women tend to underperform when it comes to running businesses? We can think about it from the following aspects.
First of all, business management involves the use of logic and rationality, and women tend to be more sensitive and emotional expressions, and lack rational thinking. They are more susceptible to emotions in the decision-making process, often acting impulsively and lacking calm thinking.
Second, successful entrepreneurs need to be tolerant and inclusive, and be open to different perspectives and suggestions. However, women tend to be too opinionated and receptive to objections or suggestions. Such limitations can lead to a failure to truly listen to others, and thus miss out on some useful advice and opportunities.
In addition, business operations require strategic vision and forward-looking thinking, while women are usually more intuitive and present-looking, and are often less sensitive to long-term strategic planning and future development trends. This makes them relatively incapable of setting strategic directions and market changes.
However, despite the relatively few success stories of female entrepreneurs, there are still some high-profile prime examples. These women not only have good business skills, but also demonstrate excellent leadership skills. Here are some examples of successful female entrepreneurs:
(a) Mary Barra
Mary Barra is the former editor-in-chief of Forbes magazine and one of the founders of Forbes** Group. With her brilliant business acumen and keen eye, she has grown Forbes Magazine into one of the most famous and influential business magazines in the world. Her success lies in her ability to identify business opportunities, identify market trends, and pursue innovation.
(ii) Maria Villamil
María Villamil is a Peruvian entrepreneur and one of the richest women in Latin America. She is the founder and CEO of Villamir Group, which operates in industries such as finance, power and mining. Her success lies in being innovative, seizing the moment, expanding rapidly in various industries, and focusing on sustainability and social responsibility.
(iii) Tilda Swan
Tilda Swan is a successful female entrepreneur in the United Kingdom, and she is the founder and CEO of Dustin Hotel Group. Through her unique business philosophy and unique market positioning, she has built Dustin Hotels into a world-renowned luxury hotel brand. Her success lies in her attention to detail and attention to the customer experience.
Looking back at the above successful female entrepreneurs, we can find that their success is not accidental, but comes from their personal efforts and unremitting pursuits.
First of all, as female entrepreneurs, they need to overcome their own limitations and not be driven by emotions to make decisions, but to think rationally. At the same time, they should cultivate a tolerant and inclusive mindset and be good at listening to the opinions and suggestions of others. In addition, they should be strategic and proactive, and keep abreast of market trends and opportunities.
Second, society's expectations of women are gradually changing. More and more women are receiving more education and opportunities, and they are showing abilities and talents that are equal to or even better than those of men. Therefore, we should provide more support and opportunities for women entrepreneurs to stimulate their potential and creativity.
Finally, the success of women entrepreneurs should not only focus on their gender, but also on their actual abilities and results. We need to give them a level playing field and room for development, so that truly capable women can stand out and make greater contributions to the company and society.
In conclusion, although there are relatively few successful cases of female entrepreneurs, it is not that women cannot become good entrepreneurs. By overcoming their own limitations, improving their abilities and qualities, and the support and encouragement of society, women entrepreneurs can achieve the same outstanding results as men and make a positive contribution to economic and social development.
