Leadership has much to do with nurturing, a sincere caring for others, coaching, guiding and serving. It's a process of fully becoming oneself. Quality relationships are an important part of the business woman's world-not just taking and using, but giving and being present in ways that enable all parties involved to come to know, trust and support one another. I think women who own businesses often express as much pleasure in the relationships required to make the business work as with excellence, increased profits and company growth. In this way they demonstrate an integration of business ethics and personal ethics. I also believe strongly that it is business's responsibility to protect and improve the environment and that we are morally obliged to help develop, not exploit, trade partners in developing countries.
