So I went to a conference this weekend and attended all the lectures. One was about how various strengths fit a position. A quote that came out of it was this: "[...] girls tend to make very good pledge masters because they can kill you with a smile." This quote made me (and a lot of other people) laugh because it's true!
But have you seen the TV show "Revenge"? Now that was what I thought of when the speaker said this. There are days I wish I was that girl - perfectly classy at all times, wonderfully kind to everyone, but an absolute b**** if you get on her bad side. She is both powerful and beautiful and while I will never be capable of being that, I do admire that quality. (I get closer when hungry and tired, so watch out! Haha!)
Many of the powerful women that I know, and many of the powerful men as well, are like this. They are extremely kind people but they know what they want, how to get it, and what you need to do for them to help them - and if you don't live up to their standards, then you might get a second chance, but you had better work for it and at least make progress and don't be stupid. The hard part is holding other people to the standards that you set - you have to think like a boss and not care what other people think of you - only know that you hold the standard and people need to live up to it.
Kill em with kindness, but do it in a way that makes you powerful and respected. Don't get walked over but remember that kindness will always win in the end.
