Being Captain of the Boys Baseball Team: Four Women Talk about Leadership

Despite gains made by women in the ranks of upper management, the typical
American corporation still consists of a middle-aged man sitting at the
top, projecting his authority down through the ranks of the hierarchy. Is
there another way? Roslyn Courtney, a management and organizational
consultant who co-chairs the Wharton Womens Task Force, believes there is.

Courtney, who received her MBA from Wharton in 1976, sees a new style of
corporate culture emerging in which management and employees work as a
family of committed colleagues motivated by a common goal. In such an
organization, a leaders stature is measured by business results, not his
or her position in the hierarchy.

To explore this leadership style, Courtney moderated a Womens Task Force
forum March 18 titled The New Leader: Dynamic Impact Beyond Hierarchy and
Power. On the panel were four successful executives who, according to
Courtney, exemplify the new leadership, Courtney said. They included Dina
Dublon, executive vice president and chief financial officer at J.P.
Morgan Chase & Co., the diversified financial services company; Carol
Ammon, founder, chair and CEO of Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc., which
specializes in medication for people in chronic pain; Dorrit Bern,
chairman, CEO and president of Charming Shoppes, a clothing retailer for
plus-sized women, and Rosemarie Greco, director of health care reform for
Pennsylvania Governor Ed. Rendell, and former CEO of CoreStates Financial
Corp and CEO and president of Fidelity Bank.

What did you think was the most important factor in your career success?
Courtney asked the panel.

Greco cited her ability to deal with turnaround situations, often in areas
where she had little experience. Early on, she was given control of 70
troubled bank branches, and after succeeding with that assignment became
the person who was handed difficult situations. It was: Greco will do it,
she said. Bern identified one of her key qualities as an ability to lead
when she was in middle management and didnt have much authority. Its easy
to lead when youre number one, because you get to make all the decisions.
Its when you arent the leader, she said, adding that 95% of middle
managers choose the politically expedient course. Her strength was a
determination to take the right course even if she had to force it on an
unwilling organization, even to the point of insubordination.
