  2. Women have conquered their independence some time ago but until today we have to prove we can be as good as men are in leader shipping. The model called centered leadership presented in the text is very interesting because it deals with several areas like physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual helping us to become more self-confident and effective leaders. The method seems to be very helpful and I believe it can really work specially for women.
