| dc.description.abstract | Rapid economic growth in Asia has helped reduce gender inequality in
several countries, especially those in Southeast Asia. This has led, among
many other things, to the fact that women have higher opportunities
to become leaders. Yet, in Southeast Asia the biggest challenge that
remains is the tendency of “untrained” women in public leadership.
Then the birth of women needs to get strategic support from the current
system of leadership culture, that good life for women is the main
pillar of women’s leadership requirements. This paper discusses the
opportunities present for preparing Southeast Asian women to become
future leaders from a number of authentic leader characteristics that
they have. By using the content analysis method, the preliminary findings
of this study is the existence of better gender relations, accompanied
by the resilience and pragmatism of today’s location communities,
bringing Southeast Asian women to a promising future leadership role.
A number of characteristics of authentic leaders that have become the
basis of women’s identity are actually the main capital to be prepared
further through a number of educational efforts, assistance and training
in order to increase knowledge, insight, organizational skills and selfconfidence.
Next, women leaders must be made. Women’s willingness
and ability to adapt and develop stronger skills in the areas of emotional
intelligence, empowerment, and power of influence place them in a
strong position to use these advantages to propel them forward in
leadership roles. Southeast Asian countries, especially those with a low
human development index, have to begin to open up the need for a state
led by women leaders who have the potential to represent a number of
authentic leadership criteria to respond to the crisis of public confidence
in the country’s leadership. | en_US |
