[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The current trend of parents referring to their bossy or demanding children (boys or girls) as "CEO material" is hurting kids.  You do not need to be bossy or mean to be a CEO.  You need to be educated and able to engage and inspire people.   In order to lead you must have people that trust and respect you to follow.  I know several CEO's who treat all their employees as colleagues who contribute to the success of the company.  Leadership is setting everyone up for success and not bossing them around or intimidating them.  These kids that are being excused for being bossy or nasty will never become CEO's because no leadership or board will tolerate their behavior.[/quote]

Well, if you had read the entire thread, you would realize that "bossy" and "nasty" aren't really the correct terms for OPs daughter.  She sounds like she has some issues with flexibility. Other PPs have given some great advice.

No one is saying being bossy or nasty makes a good CEO.  There is something to the discussion of girls who possess leadership qualities being demeaned with the term "bossy".  That is real and needs to stop.[/quote]
