Abstract

Three of the Lost Leaders independently brought up the topic of a woman president of the United States, when asked about their hopes for the future. This was before Hillary Clinton’s historic run for the presidential nomination. Overcoming the perception that women are not capable of the highest office in our government was seen as an important symbol that would help to create a work environment where women would no longer be viewed as less capable than men. Judy, who was the most negative regarding the current state of the workplace, was the most vocal on this issue: My optimistic view is there will be a woman president. There will be a woman president, I really hope in my lifetime. And when there is a woman president she will obviously select a lot of other women in roles and tasks and I think the ability to get things done, the ability to multitask, the ability to move it to the next level is going to be like Superman. Because once women have the power and once there is belief in this country that good things can happen and women do know how to handle things like economy and environment and war and famine and healthcare and all those factors and that we are making true inroads, we are not talking about the same issues 50 years from now, then I think we are really going to thrive.
