Number of (C) answers:
Thatcher- If the majority of your answers were (A)
You are a strong dominant woman who thrives off being the only woman in the room. The type of business you are in makes you believe you have to be manlier to succeed and not to conform to traditional feminine characteristics. You are a winner at all costs. You emphasise on the fact you are a good leader rather than a female leader because you do not believe gender plays a role on your performance. Family is not seen as an hindrance, however, you keep your personal life and work life separate whilst spending more time in the workplace
Nooyi- If the majority of your answers were (B)
You are successful in a male dominated industry because you believe traditional feminine characteristics give you an edge above men. You emphasise on being a woman in business leadership and support activism encouraging female entreneurship. You are living evidence that the complications of women in business are just myths and you want to change that. Family life is important but you don’t believe it enhances your performance in the workplace.
Winfrey- If the majority of your answers were (C)
You are strong like Thatcher, but for different reasons. Your industry is not male dominated. You rely on the feminine characteristics because your industry of work encourages it and this is why you are successful. You believe family life is the most important and rather not compromise on the amount of time you spend at home
